[TowerTalk] hose clamps and end caps

[Tom Osborne]

Hi Bill

Haven't used rivets here, but lots of clamps.

I took 3 of my 40 meter verticals down to re-furb them and found that the 
screw assembly in the clamps had rusted badly.  Don't know if it was bad 
clamps or what, but had to break a lot of them to get them loose.

I wonder if they make a hose clamp with stainless straps and worm gears?? 
The ones I had had stainless straps but metal worm gears.  73
