yakattack t bolt and ram ball

[goldenglory18]

All,

Does anyone know if the yakattack t-bolt secures to a ram ball with a nut on the top of the ball or is the yakattack ball threaded? I'm trying to figure out if I can integrate the t-bolt with a standard 1" ramball.

Also, I'm trying to figure out why the hell the yakattack t-bolt + ball is $15 each and the bolts are $15 for 6....

The prices for his stuff is just outright insane...

the DIY in me would want to just make my own.

amazon sells:

• 1" Delrin balls @ 10 for $8.95
• 1/4 x 20 t-slot bolts @ 5 for $4.42

that means if you have a drill press and a 1/4x20 tap ($6.02 from amazon, or $13.99 for an entire set from Harbor Freight), you can make 10 of those things for $1.78 each.

If you do your own be darn sure you lock tite them. Tight Lines.

Nah, too much DIY for me.

I already have a few spare 1" ram balls, I just need to figure out a way to turn those into "screwball" equivalents. $15 for one ball is just insane....
