"U Bolt" Wanted

[geoffp]

I am urgently after a U Bolt as supplied by Oregon Scientific to clamp the anemometer onto a pole, if anyone has one kicking around anywhere please pm me and I will arrange to send you the postage.

Many thanks

If you can't find one try using a cable tie. Works fine for me and hasn't slipped in 18 months.

Be aware that most cable ties degrade in UV, they go brittle and snap when put under load - learnt the hard way using 'big' cable ties to secure poles on a boat.

Hi Mark, Haven't had a problem of degrading. Have to get it down for cleaning and battery replacement every 18 months or so and this involves replacing the ties anyway. All looked fine when i cut off the old ones so they should be good for a couple of years anyway.

For what it's worth, the black cable ties seem to be more UV resistant than the white ones.. Even some of the packages say so...
