Dimensional Drawings of U Bolts and Cable Anchor Bolts from McMaster Carr

[K'Tesh]

Here in China, I can't access their website's dimensional drawings...

I'm looking to sim some U bolts (various sizes but primarily 1/4" shafts and smaller)

Oh, and I need the nuts too.

Thanks!
Jim

Jim, why sim them? Being internal component they only really matter as a mass, and that you have enough room for them in the rocket.

I've gone nuts, and want to sim them... I don't have a rocket to build, and I need something to keep my mind occupied.

Besides, I think they'd look neat... kind of like my eyebolts and wing nuts.

 

[markkoelsch]

Ok, I see. I was just trying to figure why you were doing it.

If you can tell me more, I can probably grab the McMaster-Carr models/drawings for you. PM me and maybe I can help.

 

[K'Tesh]

I can't specify, I'm just looking for some U bolts like what people would use with a 2.5" and larger MPR/HPR

And posting the pics in the thread would work for me.

 

[MCriscione]

Here's a set of 1/4"-20 ones, ranging in size from 3/4" to 2" ID. Larger sizes than what I've shared use larger diameter shanks. Let me know if you'd like some other sizes.

Thanks! I think I can play with those.

That might be true... but here in China, I can't access the website. Even with my VPN telling them I'm in Long Beach California.

Oh, I guess in all my trips over there I've never tried to get on their site, wouldn't have thought it was blocked though. Bummer.

Well I've attached a screenshot of the one I linked. I think its the one I'm using on my Hyperloc. Pretty typical for 4" birds.

Cheers,

Thanks for the image. I'll be able to use that.

Here's what they emailed me a few days ago when I tried to reach them...

Hi K'Tesh,

I apologize that you have been restricted from our website, but due to the cost of complying with extensive US export regulations, McMaster-Carr limits access to our website and accepts international purchases only from our established international customers.

Despite my protest that I was only looking for information, I have yet to hear back from them since then.

What VPN are you using?

 

[K'Tesh]

WiTopia

But websites like NetFlix have them blocked.

Spoof your IP? Proxies? TOR workaround bridges and Meek Transports bypass the great firewall of china as well.
