Have you actually experienced the SS nuts seizing?  Maybe I’ve been lucky, but 
I have not had trouble with that even after years.  I guess I should be putting 
anti-seize compound on them, but it’s so messy.

Metric silicon bronze nuts look to be expensive, like in the $1 each range, to 
swap them out yourself.  Which of the many nuts would you want to be silicon 
bronze?  Just the 4 that hold it to the pipe?  Or also all the ones involved in 
the elevation adjustment?

I've pulled two up the tower by hand at once and the tower guys didn't 
complain, so they can't be that heavy.

What I really wish Cambium would do, or talk Laird into doing, is replacing the 
nuts with silicon-bronze like LMG uses on their stuff. Or just go to 
galvanized. The stainless on stainless sucks. They're $500 antennas and I 
shouldn't have to go buy extra shit for them.

    Wish they made the sector mounting hardware out of aluminum.  You get
    4 of them together and they weigh a ton.
