Nothing "special" about it at all. It consists of some studs that screw into the tapped holes/threaded inserts on the elevation rotor where the bolts that hold it to the "U" bracket go, some flat and lock washers, nuts, and some clamps (looks like half a muffler clamp!) that will allow you to clamp the elevation rotor onto the mast installed into the azimuth rotor. You'll need a GC-38 mast clamp for the top of the azimuth rotor if you don't already have one. If you can get metric studs/washers/nuts the correct length locally, you could make your own pretty easily. For the price, it's not bad, considering it gives you all the bits in one box, saves you running around getting the correct hardware. 73, Jim KQ6EA --- Stargate stargatesg1@verizon.net wrote:
