Thanks, John. The clamps we are talking about have a serrated flange washer nut, and I have never felt the need to use another washer even when I had the thread length to accommodate one.

I know most everyone seems to want stainless steel. However, living in Arkansas, I have never had a problem with galvanized, certainly not having one seize or break. When someone wants to argue about the reasons for stainless over galvanized, I ask them the material and finish of their tower and tower hardware. That usually ends the discussion.

Congratulations Stan on being acquired by DX Engineering.  I just noticed
this last week while searching for aluminum tubing.

The Cycle 24 clamps will work with 1/4 plates however there is not much
room for a washer.  They are a bargain, the galvanizing is excellent and
they are good for certain applications.

I have also used many DX Engineering saddle clamps with excellent results
and also a few stainless steel muffler clamps purchased from Paul Sergi's
other company Summit racing.

Tom,

DX Engineering acquired Cycle 24 Antenna Products recently and has the
galvanized clamps previously offered by Cycle 24.  If the thickness of
whatever
you are attaching is 3/16 (maybe as much as 1/4 inch) they will work very
well
- 5/16 inch diameter bolts and flat washer nuts - all galvanized and not too expensive. I have some 200-300 pound antennas that have been held up on side
mounts with these for many years.

What is a good source for some 1 1/4" saddle clamps???
In the process of building something that will be secured to a Rohn 45G
tower.
Your help is appreciated.
