After a trip to the Pearl dealer, the Pearl UGN-6/2 recommended by McGhee does not
work. The threading is correct, but it's about an inch too short.
And, thanks for posting the picture, Roland - that's exactly what I'm looking for.
So, if anyone has one they'd like to get rid of, I'd gladly paypal you $10.
Thanks.

that Simmons used that was manufactured Ultimate Support Systems. If anyone had leads
to either of these, please let me know. I know USS hasn't made the DRC-780 clamps for
quite some time. Here's a link to the pics:

these.

those ( metric too ! ) for my little moped.
