[VHFcontesting] Need old Tonna 70cm yagi parts

First I want to wish everyone season's greetings and all the best 
for the coming year!

Do you have one or more of the very old style Tonna 21 element 70cm 
yagis with stainless steel hardware? Maybe left over parts or parts 
from a broken antenna? Please, help!!! I have started work on my 
70cm array again and I need a few small parts to replace missing ones!

The antennas I have are the old style with elements grounded through 
the boom, held in place by spring metal clips. The driven element 
was a folded dipole with "faston" or blade connectors to attach the 
feedline (NOT a N connector!).

I need only a few parts from one old antenna of this type... the two 
stainless U-bolts, the 'U' shaped stainless pieces that clamp boom 
sections together, and the two (galvanized) U bolt saddles.

I really prefer to find original parts so all antennas will be 
exactly the same, but it seems almost impossible to find these 
special pieces. I have been looking for 5 years already. Somebody 
must have them laying around??? Help, please!!

73,
Paul N1BUG
