I just bought four 1 3/4" two piece collars for 10.62 a piece. They don't have all those extra holes drilled in them (which for me is a plus) and they have all kinds of sizes available. I ordered the 18th, they shipped the 19th and arrived today. They're good folks to deal with on all kinds of odd stuff that you know exists somewhere.
So NOW you tell me! <grin> Thanks for the info -- I'll definitely check those out next time. I was working on the tire carrier today, and figured the axe will fit nicely behind the tire, while the shovel will go on the roof rack, above my 3rd brake light. I'm painting the clamps, etc., flat black, so it'll be another few days before I put them on.
Thanks,
