I measured mine with a ruler (not a caliper or micrometer) and they look to be right at 3/8".

I obtained a used HDBX48 with the tiltover base consisting of tubing and u-shaped pieces to attach to 1" threaded rod. However I'm missing the u-shaped pieces. The Rohn drawing I have doesn't specify the thickness of the u-shaped pieces. Does anyone have a drawing or actual base to find the thickness of the material the u-shaped piece is made from? Looking at the drawing I'm thinking the piece is the same thickness as the square plate at the bottom of the threaded rod, which is 3/8". If so I can weld up what I need from flat stock.
