[SECC] Stainless Steel Hardware for the CL-33M Yagi

[Fred Dennin]

Rich,

I wouldn't say they're cheap but they are good and extremely fast in filling
your orders.  I have used them extensively for the past 3 years and never
dissatisfied.

Sticker shock just hit me!! Called Mosley and they want $190 for a complete
set of hardware for this antenna. Of course it is all stainless. I went to
Lowes and their 2" 5/16 SS U-bolts are almost $7/ea. I need NINE!!! Besides
I need some aluminum blocks that mount to the elements/boom plus the
boom-to-mast bracket. I figured that I could fabricate the boom-to-mast
bracket myself out of aluminum stock.

Does anyone have a source of SS hardware that won't break the bank?? All I
really need are the U-bolts, nuts & lockwashers, plus some screws and bolts.
I think I can get the aluminum blocks from Mosley. If I had an idea of what
they looked like I could possibly fabricate them myself, but the pix in the
beam manual are really bad....they are line drawings and it is hard to
discern exactly what they look like and how big they are.

Ideas??
