[SFDXA] Mosely U-Bolt & Saddle Clamp

[Bill Marx]

The best place in the Ft Lauderdale area is McDonald's Hardware on St Rd 
84 across from Lester's Diner. Nearby are West Marine, Sailorman and 
Boat Owners Warehouse. But for Stainless anything you can't beat 
McDonald's. Lots of various size U-Bolts in Stainless Steel and Galvanized.
