In spite of the muffler clamp naysayers here, and the fact that I also
like the cast aluminum saddles favored by some, I've been really
impressed with the Cycle24 (K5GO) muffler clamps now sold by DXE.
These are NOT your father's muffler clamps.
First off, the bent portion of the u-bolt is flattened and
cross-hatched. This serves two purposes - it grips the hell out of
whatever it's trying to grip, and it suffers from less long term
relaxing. Most of the relaxing it will ever do happens right off the bat.
Next, they are nicely hot dipped galvanized.
And lastly, the saddles are NOT paper thin. These saddles will not
deform unless you are tightening them on a too small cylinder.
I like them.

I am looking for some 2" and 3" saddle clamps (muffler clamps) to replace
all the boom to element plate clamps on the 40 meter beam.
What is the best type, galvanized, zinc plated or just plain steel?
Also where do you guys buy them?
