[TowerTalk] Stainless Clamps Needed

[jeremy-ca]

The plated clamps I bought in bulk directly from Dorman in 1983 were in the 
$.30 to .75 range from 1 1/4 to 3". The plating is still fair and no nasty 
rust, just light and still on the surface.  I removed most of the stacks a 
few years ago but with a bit of wire brushing and a shot of ZeroRust I'll 
use the hardware again when I reinstall some of them rebuilt for WARC bands.
