[TowerTalk] 2 1/4" Galvanized U-bolts?

[Stan Stockton]

Tony,

Go to www.cycle-24.com. We have clamps that should be fine for what  
you need except they are zinc plated with yellow di-chromate dip  
instead of galvanized. The one marked 2 1/4" should work OK for 2.375  
OD.  The u bolt is 3/8" diameter.  In past I have used them on 2 inch  
schedule 40.  Slightly oversized but perfectly functional and no  
worries.
