[TowerTalk] Attaching utility box to tower face

[TexasRF at aol.com]

Hi Steve, the only issue in using the saddle is that it uses up some of the 
 Ubolt leg length. If the material being fastened to the tower rung is thin 
 enough, there is no issue. Metal utility boxes are certainly thin enough 
and  using the saddle will beef up the connection.

that! Why  separate it from the u-bolt? It turns out that the imported 
Chinese cable  clamps, while larger than needed for this application, are 
cost effective  and very nice for mounting applications.
