[TowerTalk] Hy Gain Element to Boom Clamp conversion

You might be able to figure it out by looking at these models:

to use insulated element brackets.

I am currently rebuilding my six meter six element beam and would like to
use Hygain element to boom clamps. Are there any standard conversions for
element length different to a standard u-bolt or insulated top mounted
element clamp? I believe you are required to add the boom diameter to the
overall element length but is there any other consideration as a genera
rule? The Hy-gain clamps seem to be considerably more durable for yagi
construction than drilling a hole through the element and thus creating a
weak point.


Please let me know.  Thanks
