I like this idea! I could live with this or with the threaded rod. Since Graydon was nice enough to send the specs on diameter and pitch, I might just see if I can find the threaded rod or a long bolt (which I can cut off...) OR........... I might find a use for some re-bar and my bench grinder to make a "U" like the one you describe. I betcha that's no more than a 20-minute job, and I think re-bar would work. (Sounds like a guy with a new bench grinder looking for an excuse to make sparks, right??) Hmmmmm....lessee....didn't I see some re-bar around here......? *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** Al Powell Voice: 409/845-2807 Ag Communications Fax: 409/862-1202 107 Reed McDonald Bldg.
