Flat U Clamp to Fit Slots - Monitor Self Steering Wheel Drum

[Deleted member 36384]

Hello and Happy New Year,

My Monitor self steering system has a drum on the wheel that the control lines attach to. The drum has a plate with slots in it about 15mm long by 3 mm wide. Currently Jubilee Clips are used to clamp the drum to the wheel but they are unsightly, although they do the job, hence would like to change them for a neater solution. Does anyone know of a special clamp that would fit this type of slot? The part that clamps to the wheel is stationary and the drum has a pin lock that can be disengaged to allow the drum to rotate, hence any clamp device needs to fit between the gap. Pics below.

Cheers,

I take ti you have a 6 spoke wheel and the Self steering drive clamps to 3 of the spokes.

I also have a monitor and made my pwn wheel drive drum.

What is the diameter of the spokes and the centres of the 2 3 mm wide slots.

I used a stainless pipe clamp for attach my drum to the steering wheel spokes.

Like this with a setscrew and washer on the inside with the nut on the outside
