[TenTec] RE; Rohn 45G Saddle Clamps

[GARY HUBER]

Thanks to all for responding, but no I have not seen anything at DXenginering which comes close to meeting the requirement to fit in the bottom of the U of the U-bolt with a reversed piece over the legs of the U-bolt forming an O around the tower leg. The leg is one and a quarter inch O.D. the legs of the U-bolt has a one and a half inch separation, so the saddle clamps are a little less than one-eighth thick and two of them act as a shim and pad to spread the clamping force rather than the U-bolt radial circumference against the contact point of the leg. 

I may have to reverse engineer a pair of http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-sad-125a on each leg with a squared bottom U-bolt, or something similar. Rohn just uses a one and a quarter inch space between legs U-bolt now for the 25G and 45G current house bracket, so I may have to get my head wrapped around the idea that just a U-bolt is good enough.
