[TowerTalk] Need U-bolt dimensions for Rohn AS25G rotator plate

[Lee Buller]

What I have done in the past when I had to replace the u-bolts on the plate is to take some "all-thread" and bend it using the tower as the form.  Then take a hack saw and cut the all thread.  You can get all-thread from any hardware store.  I before I cut the all thread to size, I would put on the nuts so that I could roll the nuts off after the cut to straighten out the threads at the cut.  I've also found u-bolts "close" to the size and reformed them for the tower leg.  I like the all-thread method better

Hello TT'ers,
In anticipation of having to replace the U-bolts on the Rohn AS25G rotator plate currently on the tower, what are the U-bolt dimensions (i.e., distance between legs, overall length and size - 1/4 or 5/16 inch)? Prior to posting I did the following: 1) looked in my current Rohn catalog; 2) did a Google search; 3) checked the TT archives; and, 4) sent a message to Stan, W7NI, about availability of the set (unanswered to date)...all to no avail. Once I know the dimensions I will order SS U-bolts from McMaster-Carr. Tnx.
