All

An otherwise very good 70cm yagi has a boom and clamp plate with 
pre-drilled quarter-inch holes:  their _centers_ are 1 and 7/8 inches 
apart.  The correct u-bolt was missing.

Don't ask how how many places (including McMaster) and how long I've 
looked for a u-bolt with centers of its [ends] 1 and 7/8 inches 
apart.  I've learned there are about a half-dozen common u-bolt 
sizes, and for that dimension none come close.

Help will be appreciated.  Bolt stock section 3/16 inch should be 
good; 1/4 inch would be very tight.

Best regards,
William W3QX
