[PVRCNC] Hardest store in raleigh for yagi hardware?

[n4cw at aol.com]

I've found marine hardware to be VERY expensive and rather limited in scope for stainless hardware. (They're a good source for pulleys, but still expensive!) ACE Hardware stores often stock stainless nuts, bolts, and washers. U-bolts you'll find at hardware stores are usually too short for boom and mast use, that's why I recommend DXE. 
If you want stainless muffler clamps, you can get those through Summit Racing, but I prefer the cast saddles available at DXE. You can also get saddles through Mosley (the antenna people), but they're not as good.

 If you want stainless (better use a generous coat of Never-seize) try one
of the marine hardware stores. There's one over on Capital, but probably
others.

Ted, if you need drilling, I have a drill press and other tools.
