Where to find cheap upper truss and lower clamps?

[ariefm71]

Hi,

I'm looking for cheap sources or alternative ideas for upper truss clamps and lower clamps for my 10" truss dob project. I'll be using 8 x 1" poles for the trusses (also, will be using a pair of 13" altitude side bearing bought from AM).

Any suggestions? see picture attached

thanks,
arief

ps: btw, moonlite is charging US$200 for a complete set of lower clamps and upper clamps.

Hi Arief,

If you want custom clamps like the one in your pic, it will be expensive. I have read that other users use clamps meant for adjusting bicycle seats.
