Hi Jarno, All,
Starting tomorrow I will begin accepting email orders for the RCA jacks. If you have not yet emailed me for the pricing, please do so at anytime, the sooner the better.
When you send your email order, please include:
1.) The quantity of each item requested with the part number as shown on the wiki page or in post #29 of this thread. Remember, the quantity is for each piece, NOT PAIRS.
2.) Your complete shipping address
3.) Any special shipping circumstances I need to be aware of
4.) Do not send your payment until I have sent you your order confirmation email which will include your total payment.
My preferred payment method is PayPal. I will accept money orders or cashiers checks from within the US or Canada, but PayPal is preferred. Personal checks are frowned upon. Go out to 7-11 and buy a money order.
All payments are to be made in USD. Payment for orders outside of the US or Canada should be made with PayPal. If a PayPal payment is not possible, send me an email so we can agree on the payment method. American Express, US Postal, or Western Union money orders in USD are acceptable in lieu of PayPal.
Included in your payment will be shipping and handling from DIYCable to me, shipping and handling from me to you, PayPal fee (3% in the US and Canada, 4% elsewhere) and the amount of your order.
I will stop accepting orders on Sunday at midnight (EST) on the 23rd of February. I hope to have the order placed with DIYCable by the end of that week (the end of the month). This should get your orders to you somewhere around mid-March.
If you will be out of town or without email access, email mail me now or as soon as possible. Your payment will have to be made by 2/24/03.
Let the Games Begin!

Time to Order
It's time to start getting those orders in.
Please read above and place your order if your interested.
Read above first
There will be 4 female panel mounted RCA jacks offered. They are all “non-magnetic, eutectic Brass, Rhodium over Silver plated with a Gold plated Brass nut. The nut is on the outside in all cases. The 4 versions are:
A). GRFA L Thin – Long with a Thin Nut
B). GRFA L Thick – Long with a Thick Nut
C). GFRA S Thin – Short with a Thin Nut
D). GFRA S Thick – Short with a Thick Nut
Short threads/thick nut = 0.0" to .082"
Short threads/thin nut = .079" to .142"
Long threads/thick nut = .142" to .350"
Long threads/thin nut = .350" to .400"
An additional .037" can be gained by removing the internal washer, grounding the connector.
Thanks,
Rodd Yamashita

D). GFRA S Thick – Short with a Thick Nut
Long threads/thin nut = .350" to .400" – For wood panels or special mounting conditions
Long threads/thick nut = .142" to .350" – For heavy aluminum, plexiglass, or wood panels
Short threads/thin nut = .079" to .142" – For heavy steel, aluminum, or plastic enclosures or panels
Short threads/thick nut = 0.0" to .082" – For steel or light aluminum enclosures or panels
An additional .037" can be gained by removing the internal washer, grounding the connector if using a metal mounting panel.
You do have a point that the "B" version will give you a little more fleibility. Although those thinking about building pre-amps or multi-way xovers probably won't need the extra length.

lengths
Here's my thinking - I'm using 1/4 inch panels for my power amp, so thats B size, and I think for pre's 1/8 inch is plenty big so that fits in the C category. My only problem is I need a job so I can buy more.... but thicker than 1/8" for a preamp seems like overkill to me, except for the front panel which should look nice and thick

A little OT
I personally prefer working with thicker materials, generally 1/8" and up. This results in more mass in the cabinet and generally results in a better looking and sounding unit. Not to mention the durability factor. Thin aluminum dents very easily and if you tend to move often as I have done, your gear doesn't suffer. On thing else to consider, it is easier to add a plastic washer than to countersink a connector if you decide to go with thicker material. Some guys, like Peter, are very good at making this work well, and I can do one or the other, but I have found it easier to use the extra length to an advantage. The "stem" of a connector post will be closer to your board and thus a short wire run without having to crowd your components into the corners. My advice is buy something as flexible as possible.

toools
countersinking sounds great, I hadn't thought of that- thanks! but without a drill press, it might be too much of a pain to do it for anything that isn't needed cosmetically... or maybe I should just wait and lug my chassis panels along with me next time I go to NY so I can use my dad's drill press so I can get everything to look perfect
. heh maybe I'll even bring some big capacitors too so I can mess with security, as they'll think they're bombs... but maybe thats a bad idea... 
lol when i first got them my ex used to call them bombs until I educated her
