David,
Save yourself a lot of time and effort, and simply use a high-quality
crimp-on bulkhead connector. That eliminates the troublesome hood and
the inevitable impedance bump. Such connectors are available in UHF,
mini-UHF, BNC, TNC, and N connectors, to name a few.
For extending the MICOR front-end preselector to the back of the unified
chassis (the route of the original input cable) use RG-400 or RG-142
double-shielded coax, with a low-loss RCA plug on one end and a N female
bulkhead connector on the other end. Even if your repeater is on 2m,
the N connector is far better than UHF or BNC.
