Hello- I preparation for installing 2 of 45G towers 130' each, a while back I
bought the required quantity of leg bolt kits #45JBK from a Rohn dealer sold as
a Rohn product. These were supplied with bolts/nuts inside plastic tubers with
a cap at one end. I did not realize the nuts were staked (3 stake indentations
per nut). In fact, they are so heavily staked that they are destroying the
threads of the bolts plus really heating up the bolts. I feel like the torque
to thread nuts on is excessive and am waiting for a bolt to twist off. Needless
to say I will reject all of these. I have searched until I am blue in the
face for a supplier of grade 5 hot dipped galvanized bolts. Can anyone tell me
where I can buy these two sizes of grade 5 hot dipped galvanized bolts 5/16" x
2-3/8" long and 7/16" x 2-1/2" long with nuts? I really do not want to buy any
more 45JBK not knowing whether they are staked or not, plus the 5/16" nuts in
my kits were NOT hot dipped.Byron W5FH
