Default Custom U bolts?

Hey everyone, I am looking for someone that makes or can make "U" bolts. Or if someone knows anyone that sells some? I need some that are 1/2in wide (from thread to thread) and 1/2in long (or a little shorter) and the shape of a square not the 'U' shape.

Any help would be great!
Thanks
Steve

You could pick up some small diameter all-thread at your LHS as well as some steel square tube stock and bend your own (you would bend the all-thread around the tube stock). I would spin a nut down the all-thread near the ends while bending to prevent buggering the threads.
Just saying.
