Correct Ubolts most likely DO exist, but probably not available at HomeDespot.
If you look at larger hardware suppliers you could probably find them. And you
also have the size differences between tubing and pipe, which complicates it
even more.

Hi folks,
I've ran into this problem multiple times and thought I'd ask to see if there
is a simple explanation or if perhaps manufacturers of universal angle iron
brackets as sold in Lowes, Home Depot, etc. just don't care. I can never find
these 'plumbers tape' type of angle irons that have holes that will match up to
the U-bolts they sell. And it seems the U-bolts are too large half the time for
the holes. Seems to me that by now it would occur to manufacturers that
U-bolts get used on these angle irons with all the holes so conveniently places
that they would make sure the U-bolts would go through them?
I once had a professor who would say 'if you have a question don't hesitate to
ask it because chances are other people are also wondering that same thing but
were afraid to ask'. So I ask, WHY? Just seems like the hardest thing I keep
running into is to 'somehow' expand a bolt hole to match a bolt or U-bolt. That
just isn't easy. Maybe clamp down my drill horizontal with an auger style bit
and start drilling?
Somehow I know I'll be able to detune my tower but as usual this problem reared
it's ugly head.
