Yeah they were slick. About 8 years ago I had a few made and they cost me my left leg. So if you see me limping you'll know why.

Problem with this style of clamp is you might need 3 or 4 different size radius's to run one line from front to back. So when one clamp is made you need to make the most common used sizes 1/4, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 1-5/8, 1-3/4, & 2. There not easy and any machinist would want to have a min. of 250 to 500 to make it worth while for both parties.
Let's just say at that quanity they would be $3.50 ea. That's 2000 to 4000 peaces X $3.50 = $7000.00 to $17,500 for ONE FREAK-EN SIZE

Now you know why I haven't made them !
