[TowerTalk] Tip for Saddle clamps

[Tim Duffy]

For the record...

The Saddle clamps that Summit Racing sells are manufactured and also sold by
DX Engineering. We are one "family"

DX Engineering also ships next day or second day as well.

Thanks, John.  The clamps we are talking about have a serrated flange washer

nut, and I have never felt the need to use another washer even when I had 
the thread length to accommodate one.

I know most everyone seems to want stainless steel.  However, living in 
Arkansas, I have never had a problem with galvanized, certainly not having 
one seize or break.  When someone wants to argue about the reasons for 
stainless over galvanized, I ask them the material and finish of their tower

and tower hardware.  That usually ends the discussion.
