Hi folks,
I've ran into this problem multiple times and thought I'd ask to see if there is a simple explanation or if perhaps manufacturers of universal angle iron brackets as sold in Lowes, Home Depot, etc. just don't care. I can never find these 'plumbers tape' type of angle irons that have holes that will match up to the U-bolts they sell. And it seems the U-bolts are too large half the time for the holes. Seems to me that by now it would occur to manufacturers that U-bolts get used on these angle irons with all the holes so conveniently places that they would make sure the U-bolts would go through them? I once had a professor who would say 'if you have a question don't hesitate to ask it because chances are other people are also wondering that same thing but were afraid to ask'. So I ask, WHY? Just seems like the hardest thing I keep running into is to 'somehow' expand a bolt hole to match a bolt or U-bolt. That just isn't easy. Maybe clamp down my drill horizontal with an auger style bit and start drilling? Somehow I know I'll be able to detune my tower but as usual this problem reared it's ugly head.
