My experience with the L bracket was not good. Bent on me twice. That rotor became the HamVention Demo rotor. It’s replacement had the U bracket which is still in service. Problem will be the elevation rotors that came with the L bracket will not have the holes on the other side for the U bracket. The pads are there so you might be able to drill, tap and helicoil for the other side of the U bracket. And if you do will you choose metric or English. UMMV

Mike, If we are talking a G-5500, it's actually a U shaped bracket with a slot in the bottom Yaesu #S8001512. You might try contacting Yaesu and see what they want for one.
