[QUOTE="thecaretaker, post: 618943, member: 292455"] I purchased a set of T&K brackets from a local Tandy store about 25 years ago to erect my UHF TV Ariel. It is still going strong, no signs of rust and I'm confident it will last many more years. However, a year ago, I purchased online a set of T&K brackets (looked just the same) for my motorised dish and it is red with rust after a year. It is hard to tell by looking at online sites what the quality of the brackets 'really' is like. There is obviously galvanising and then there is galvanising! I've come to the conclusion that online sites will often opt for the lighter versions to keep the cost of postage down. A really thick, well galvanised T&K brackets is a heavy item to put through the post. I can no longer find anywhere locally that sell them. Can somebody recommend a source where I can purchase 'well made' heavy duty T&K brackets that will last more than a couple of years? (20+ would be good). I live on the south coast with sea breezes, salty air and need top quality. Mine hasn't dropped off the wall yet, but I don't think it will be long (maybe one more winter). Any ideas? I'm happy to travel to get them, but must be the biz! Alternatively, do you know anybody who makes them to order? [/QUOTE]
