I ordered them through kc1xx with the tower.  But they come direct from
k0xg, thought they don't show on his web site that I can see.  I would not
use these for a tower that had any torque, I haven't gotten the specs on
them but with the small bolt pattern diameter I wouldn't trust them for much
torque.
