Title: Stainless Steel U Bolts
Post by: Knightt150 on April 27, 2010, 03:55:30 PM
Where is a good source for STAINLESS STEEL U Bolts the ones used to clamp the mast pipe to my TR3 BELL rotor. The problem is the inside thread to thread is mine is 2 1/4 inches. You can buy 2 inch U bolts but not the 2 1/4. I need 1/4 inch threads also.

Hi John,

Try :

Any might also ook at DX Engineering,  But McMasters is prob the best for selection.  Think they also have HDG U-Bolts.

That is an odd ball size but this fella is Ham friendly and may have it.

You can get it from MFJ/HyGain:

They have all the rotor parts for the CDE rotors.

You don't actually need U bolts, if you have two bolts and something cut or machined to go around the
mast. Like cut with a hole saw out of solid stock... fwiw.
