Mike, I normally use standard silver/teflon PL-259 connectors with a silver plated ug/176 series adapter for the 1/4" superflex. To turn a standard connector into a Andrew clone, just drill about a 1/8" hole through the adapter, about a 1/3rd of the way down from the top. Solder the copper jacket to the adapter through these holes, thread the connector together, tighten with a couple pair of pliers, and solder the center conductor.
For N type fittings, I either shop ebay or I will buy a N-200 conector from Radio Works. These Radio Work connectors assemble like a PL-259 and use the same reducers. Same deal, just dirll a hole in the adapter and solder the copper shield through the holes, solder the center conductor and assemble. I like these connectors because they have a rubber gasket between the two halves. For BNC fittings, you are pretty much stuck trying to find the proper connector from Andrew.
