[TowerTalk] Beefing Cushcraft D40 mast clamps-

[(N0AH) Bryon "Paul" Veal]

Here in south Denver yesterday, we got 60-70 MPH winds- a number of us experienced problems from broken rotors to downed verticals.  My only problem was my Cushcraft 40M RTD spun about 10 degrees on the mast- not too much to complain about but has any one modified mast mounting brackets on one of these class of antennas to beef up the grip on the mast?  I'm concerned if I tighten up the U-bolts much more, I stand to crack them- any suggestions welcomed- you can see the D-40 manual at the MFJ/Cushcraft site for more details- Lot's of possibilities to screw things up, hi
