And they are 7/16" OD - not the most common size in the world, but not 
rare either.

When I was still using my R25 & R55 poles, I had many buckets of 
galvanized 3/8" and 1/2" bolts, which are the most common size hardware 
on cell sites (along with 5/8").

Hence my choice of 3/8" & 1/2" when I drilled out the splice holes.
