[Towertalk] Force 12 good service

[Roger]

Force 12 provided me good information. I have some corroded U-bolts and 
saddles on my 3-year-old C-3 ...see http://igspot.ig.com.br/rmurad/
The U-bolts and saddles are not stainless steel.

I wrote to Force12, got a quick reply. Further E-Mails brought 
specifications and dimensions. Very helpful. I did not buy the replacement 
U-bolts/saddles from Force12 as I thought it would be easier to buy them 
locally ... but still haven't found exact replacements here. It is not so 
easy as one may think.
