Where to buy need 2" hinged jaw rail slide/clamp?

[flightlead404]

I'm building my solar panel frame and want to tie into the traveller arch as its the strongest/most rigid place to tiel

I need a couple of "hinged jaw rail slide/clamp". Something that clamps around the 2" rail of the arch, and to which I can bolt the ear of the end cap on the 1" frame. See attached pic. This but for 2" tubing.

I've tried Amazon, Defender, here, google, a few smaller places on line and can't find anything > 1 1/2" inches.

Does anyone have a link or a contact for 2" clamps?

Thanks. Saw that one. I have not called them yet, but looking at that image compared to the images for their smaller ones, there doesn't look like there a gap/provision made for the ear of the tube cap that would be mounted to it.

It just depends on the diameter of your 2" tube! The bigger the tube the bigger the gap. They just screw it together.

Try auto or motorcycle parts. I found several bar clamps where they are used for mounting lights to truck or kick bars, but never tried for a 2" one.

Rich, looks interesting but no mention if it is SS or what grade if it is.

I used the hinges from US Marine Canvas for my solar install tying into the my H49 davits (2" tube). They connected fine to a cap end. The SailboatOwners store has their own version, as well. Hunter 49 rail clamp, davit, arch, bimini clamp 2 inch rails

All the Garhauer stuff I've ever seen (and I've had 2 boats rigged with the stuff) was 316 SS or Anodized AL.

Garhauer makes good stuff. Very competitive prices. If you call they'll tell you what it's made of.
