Backstay insulators

[Auspicious]

I have a customer (for radio work) with Navtec N-50 rod rigging. What are the options for insulators for a backstay antenna?

Hello,
Any rod fabricator can install insulators in your backstay. But before shelling out for them, make sure that you really need them; a lot of boats don't, or only need one. Consult with an experienced radio geek.
Fair leads,

Thanks Brion - I am an experienced radio geek. *grin* The customer specifically wants two insulators and has been told that the Navtec insulators for that size rod rigging are back-ordered with no indication of a delivery date.

I have suggested alternatives but the customer is firm on his desires.
