[TowerTalk] [Bulk] Long shank U-Bolts

[Grant Saviers]

I have a similar problem - McMaster 3/8 and 1/2" hot dip galvanized 
u-bolts regular length are too short and extended length are too long.  
Also, 3" tubing sizes are not stocked, only IPS sizes. However, if one 
goes with 1/2" rod, Portland Bolt will make whatever you want.  Haven't 
tried it, so I don't know pricing/lead times.

DX Engineering sells the Cycle 24 muffler style (they call them economy 
saddle clamps), they are hot dip galvanized, and good lengths and 
diameters for elements to booms or booms to masts plates.

The Fastenal & Grainger lines are weak, so it would be nice to find some 
sources with more choice.
