[SFDXA] Mosely U-Bolt & Saddle Clamp

[Norman Alexander]

Dan.

Happy to hear you have acquired a beam - the mosley TA-33 works quite well as I 
have used them in the past.  As far as u-bolts are concerned you should be able 
to find a suitable part at Home Depot.  Typically those u-bolts are classified 
by pipe sizes, so a 1-1/2 pipe OD is 1.96" and therefore results in a clamp 
suitable for 2" boom.  Saddle clamps are a little tougher to find, but most 
Muffler shops will have a variety of sizes.  The main problem is most are 
unplated raw steel.  However some may have stainless clamps (for appearance 
reasons) on the exterior stacks of.  If you have a marine supply source in the 
area you may find stainless steel u-bolts.  Also in this area ACE hardware 
carries a broader line of U-bolts then does HD.

 Regards,


Norm W4QN

Lucky, am I, to have acquired a used Mosely TA-33 Tri Bander. And although the 
measured dimensions are a bit strange, I am anxious to mount it on my newly 
erected tower and take some SWR measurements. Which brings me to a need I have 
to accomplish the elevation. Does anyone have two 2" x 3"(+) x 5/16" U-Bolt and 
companion saddle clamp that they can make available? I will need two of them for 
the mast to boom attachment and will be more than happy to pay a fair and 
reasonable fee. Please reply to this email or contact me direct (see below).
