Hi gang!

I've stumbled over an old Radio Shack rotor that I'd like to reuse, but it didn't have any of the clamping hardware to mount to the base or antenna mast. I hooked it up to a CM Ir controller, and it looks like the timing is correct for a 360 degree rotation.

Does anyone know where I can get the pole clamps? I tried some basic antenna mast clamps that I found at Lowe's, but they're too small (the holes aren't wide enough).

Thanks!

I am not shure what you need. U bolts are available at most hardware stores. Stainless steel U bolts can be had a marine supply stores. I also make use of muffler clamps from auto parts stores as mask clamps. These rust fast so I paint them and coat the threads with antisieze.

Let me try to explain with a picture from the Eagle Aspen Rotor thread.

When looking at the attached picture, I'm looking to replace the bronze'ish metal clamping brackets that attach to the screws in the picture.

Muffler clamp parts are probably the most available.
