Anybody know of a local shop that custom bends u-bolts?

Thanks

One of our members had some bent at Fredericksburg Welding I think...may have been Fredericksburg Machine Shop. It wasn't cheap.

A quick google search found some online options for you:

Stengler Bros

Tie Down Engineering

Alcan Spring

Good Luck!

Depends on where you are. In Richmond the easiest and cheapest place is Thruston Spring in south Richmond, actually it's across from Legends.

Bends made on the spot.

Google the number and address....

Thanks guys

I had also looked online. Stengler Bros has some "off the shelf" u-bolts that are very close to what I need and are reasonably priced.

I was just curios to see if there were any shops in or near Richmond that could do the same thing for around the same price. I’m from Waynesboro but I am frequently traveling through the Richmond area

I will give both places a call this week.

Thanks Again!

Try "Thurston" spring in Richmond, across from legend Brewing.
Normally a set of 4 ubolts are about $40.00 with washers and nuts.
