Hello- I preparation for installing 2 of 45G towers 130' each, a while back I bought the required quantity of
leg bolt kits #45JBK from a Rohn dealer sold as a Rohn product. These were supplied with bolts/nuts inside plastic tubers
with a cap at one end. I did not realize the nuts were staked (3 stake indentations per nut). In fact, they are so heavily
staked that they are destroying the threads of the bolts plus really heating up the bolts. I feel like the torque to thread
nuts on is excessive and am waiting for a bolt to twist off. Needless to say I will reject all of these. I have
searched until I am blue in the face for a supplier of grade 5 hot dipped galvanized bolts. Can anyone tell me where I can
buy these two sizes of grade 5 hot dipped galvanized bolts 5/16" x 2-3/8" long and 7/16" x 2-1/2" long
with nuts? I really do not want to buy any more 45JBK not knowing whether they are staked or not, plus the 5/16" nuts
in my kits were NOT hot dipped.Byron W5FH
