Joe,
Look for your U-bolts at an auto supply store too. The muffler clamps are
different sizes than the hardware store clamps.

Alternatively you can buy an SAE sized clamp and drill a new hole or

If you really want a precise (custom) U-bolt, McMaster Carr (Chicago)
will make them to your drawing.?? Not inexpensive, but it's one solution
option.

I've just hooked up my new 2m Preamp that I purchased from my local HRO.
They are metric 73mm from end to end.
I did not use my U-Bolts, I simply drilled one hole for each 2m / 70cm on
my Glen Martin mini-tripod. Need to keep them for the just in case I ever
get a real super tower :)

Howdy Gang.
Putting my meager satellite station together and have just purchased two
?pre-owned? SSB preamps for 2M/70CM.
Needing two U-bolts to secure the preamps to the mast I went in search of
such U-bolts in a large hardware store today.
Close but no cigar?I has suspected that the needed U-bolts were probably
metric since the preamps came from Germany.
Can some kind sole point me in the right direction to order two of these
U-bolts?
Does anyone have the correct size I can reference in placing an order?
Does anyone have two on hand (even used ones) that they can spare for a
reasonable price?
Many thanks for any assistance.

Why don"t you just bolt it to a small scrap piece of aluminum or
whatever and then drill that for the appropriate clamp you are going to use.
