U-bolts

[ricksi]

My trailer has 3/8" U-bolts for 1-1/4" pipe. The bolt width is 1-1/4" and the length is 4". I've searched trailer and bolt places for replacements and have not found them. Does anyone know of a place where I'd likely find them?

May try some exhaust u-bolts if you can find the right size. Can you get 1/2 x 1-1/4 If so just drill the hole out to 1/2.

u-bolt for 1-1/4" pipe would be at least 1.66" in between.
1" pipe would be 1.315" in between.

Northern Tools or Tractor Supply might have them...

+1, you can get better U-bolts made up at a spring shop than those on the shelf.

The only problem is they will be raw steel u-bolts.

I know they won't be hot galvinized dipped or anything, but it is nice to get a good 3/8 rod bent into a u-bolt than those idy bidy 1/4 inchers.

Hopefully they will hot bend them.

light sand, prime and paint.
