[TowerTalk] Antenna Hardware

[john at kk9a.com]

Stainless U-bolts are easy to find, I purchased many at McMaster Carr. KK0SD
is looking for a V-Bolt which are more difficult to find and I really do not
understand the purpose of these. If that is what he really needs Diamond
should sell the replacement.  He is not the first one to ruin a stainless
steel bolt by putting it together dry.

I just received an order from "BoltDepot.com" for some SS u-bolts for my

Gap Titan. They looked good and worked good, there shipping seems reasonable

and prompt.

I was able to gall a 6 mm stainless steel "U-Bolt" (without really trying)
that holds my small Diamond Antenna to a mast. 
I put "U-Bolt" in quotes as the bottom of the "U" is more triangular the
round.  Looking for a replacement 
on the internet I do not see much of anything that looks like it. Is it
called a "U-Bolt"? or something else?



I have a call in to Diamond to see if they sell them, and expect to hear
back 
Monday.



Thanks and 73,
