we were robbing the angled clamp from sitepro upc1 to fot the angle on the elevator platforms, then a backer pipe inside. but it turned out we were getting the mtows way cheaper than we were supposed to, when the price went to msrp, we went exclusively to upc1. wanna bet which sites will fail first? i really liked the mtows
