With two rigid plates each side that is a viable option to look into. Yes,
I'm not equipped anymore (since downsizing to a house with no shop) to do
metalwork nor do I desire to. SS is a bit difficult to work with also when
it comes to bending.
Lots of good suggestions but based on the cost of the custom U bolts I had
made previously at a shop up the coast, that option still seems to be the
easiest and most cost effective, at least for me. Again, what I was looking
for was any experience towerites had with shops that might more routinely do
this. Tim's direction to the DX Eng clamps was appreciated, I see lots of
nice things there, but for this project a bit overkill and pricey.
Back to the more technical discussions, I'm reading!
Thanks all,
Don W7WLL

W7WLL is not interested in making his own. To make my own U-Bolt, instead
of threaded rod, I would look for a stud with two threaded ends.

What about buying and cutting and bending threaded rod to make your own?
Not sure if the threading and bending will weaken the U though.
