I wonder if they are metric rather than standard sized u-bolts? This might account for the difference in size...
Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Chuck Kelsey The application is a small side-arm bracket. I made it from aluminum square tubing. It got removed from the tower and I needed U-bolts for different project so I "borrowed them." Now I can't find that size again. It's pretty obvious that I'll have to settle for a different u-bolt size and re-drill the bracket. But that seems just wrong. Obviously someone made the original ones, but they certainly seem to have disappeared. Am I to assume that companies that fabricate items utilizing u-bolts must special order their needs? And finding this stuff locally is a joke. Home Depot (18 miles away) carries two stainless u-bolts sizes. There used to be a small mom & pop hardware (20-miles the other way) that had a few more, but I haven't tried wasting the gasoline to go there and come back empty-handed. My local hardware can order a few sizes, but you've got to get a box of ten. Hence my question of a decent supplier... if one really exists. Chuck WB2EDV
