Well, 54mm is so close to 2-1/8" that it wouldn't matter. Either would fit, and the 54mm muffler clamps I found also state they work for 2-1/8" pipes.
And I anti-sieze *everything8!

Hello Jim,
I would go to Yaesu (Standard Vertex USA) parts to get the exact ones needed.
I have always had problems trying to find SAE u-bolts to fit a metric device.
Be sure to grease the threads when applying, so they do not rust up and seize.

Greetings, all
I'm "improving" my elevation rotor setup, and I'm wondering what others are using to secure the cross-boom inside the elevation rotor.
I've been using stainless hose clamps, and they work kinda-sorta OK, but have a tendency to slip. I'd really like to get either some proper size u-bolts, or the part numbers from the clamps Yaesu supplies with the rotor.
They appear to be 54mm / 2-1/8" inside-the-legs, and I'm coming up blank on searching for some.
There are no part numbers for the clamps in the manuals I have for the rotors.
I have FOUR elevation rotors, and NO clamps!
Seems like the clamps always get lost when people take these apart to sell.
Thanks!
