Pete,
I can't answer your question, it appears to be part of the project you are working on. Relying on a web based info site where references are not made is not a good idea, especially as you will get answers from complete strangers whose providence you will not know.
I can tell you that with a simple google search I found some
1,000,000+ sites with reference to RF connectors and plating, many of these were research papers. There are no short cuts, you have to do the research. I bet you would even find the answer in papers at your University Library subscribed research papers.
