Hello

 

Anyone know the ANCHOR BOLTS and NUTS size for the MA-55? This is an old
model, now I think is the same that MA-555

 

No answer from US Tower yet about that.

 

>From FAQ I see that 

 

QUESTION : Why has US Tower changed the anchor bolts from a J bolt to a
regular straight bolt? 

ANSWER : The anchor bolts were changed from the J bolts in the 1980s to
comply with changes in building codes at the time. Today the high strength
bolts come with a welded nut and washer on the end. 

 

 

So seems a regular one will be OK

 

Thanks,

Jorge
