Great! I've always heard that the support for their rotors is spotty, but if they have them, I'll go that way.

I live in Long Beach, and they're not very far from here.

Maybe I'll swing by Tuesday afternoon when I get off from work.

Thanks!

Jim After moving 3 years ago I went and got all new from Yaesu Vertex. Since I was replacing with the right type as well as size I had no worry.

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!
