Hi to all:

There were numerous places suggested as a source of ss or plated 2"
muffler clamps.  Below is a partial listing of some of the sources:

Harbaugh  http://www.harbach.com
Lightning Bolt Antennas
Marine Supply House
Auto Speed Shops
J.C. Whitney
Local hardware stores (I don't seem to be able to locate them here)

At any rate, this is a start.  That Harbaugh lead is a great lead.  Look
at their website and you will see what I mean.

73,

Charlie, W0YG..>>

I am a satisfied customer of Harbaugh....his hdwe has been used on several
projects and has performed well...I have no interest in his company no do
not stand to benmefit from this other than to hope that othewrs support
Al's business so it stays around for the next project I need to tackle....I
especially like the cast saddles on his u-bolts.

Jamestown Distributors has SS and Galvanized u-bolts (square and round
types) plus very good prices.  I have ordered from them several times
with no problems.  There is no minimum that I am aware of and they take
credit cards.  There primary business is as a marine fasteners supply
house.

Charlie, last time I needed stainless steel u-bolts, I was able to get them
from
Jacob Schmidt and Son, Inc
1936 Sumneytown Pike
Harleysville PA  19438
215-234-4641

Not sure they're still in business, and they're not antenna folks, but do
carry a LOT of stainless parts...including u bolts, and clamps, etc....

I think they require a check, and don't take credit cards (at least a few
years ago that was the case) but a stainless u bolt will serve you well!
