Dave,

Another 26 x 'U' bolts for the 15mm posts are on their way to you in the post. That should satisfy immediate demands plus some spares.

What about 'U' bolts for the 1/2" posts - are any needed or has someone else made some?

Dave, My calculation is: Length of rod around half the post (post diameter plus 1/2 thickness of rod) + (half the post diameter + thickness of saddle + nut + a couple of threads) x 2 So for a 12.7mm Post = PI(12.7+(1.6/2))/2 + ((6.35 + 5 + 1.5 + (1.6/2)) x2) = 48.5mm and for a 15.0mm Post = PI(15.0+...

Dave (& Richard), Second attempt at this posting! Thanks for the parcel received this afternoon. I have had a go at making some 'U' bolts. They are all 58mm long with different thread lengths. If the picture gets successfully attached you will see that on the 12.7mm post the top 'U' bolt is threaded...

Yes, I could either modify an existing bending tool or make something specifically for the job. I do need to know the dimensions and material. I note Richard is also asking the question as to whether there is a drawing yet? If you could send me a sample of the tube(s) and some welding rod I could ma...

Richard,
I could help with the 'U' bolts. Are they all the same size or are there different widths or lengths? If you can send me a drawing with all dimensions and preferred material I'm sure I could ease the burden!

Steve.
