[TowerTalk] US TX-455 Bolt Spec?

[Mark Adams]

Hi Gang,

I recently bought a used TX-455.  Since I didn't bust the base bolts 
out of the previous base, I need new ones :-)  US Towers wants $129 for 
3 bolts, and can't, or won't, give me the material specifications on 
the bolts.  They claim it is "high stength steel and it is special 
ordered".

Given that McMaster-Carr has 3' long, 1",8 TPI, B17 ASTM A193 bolts for 
about $25 each, I wonder.....

Anyone here know what these bolts are made of?

Thanks,
Mark K2QO
