Clamps for ladder mounting

A few years ago, someone posted a link to drilled and tapped clamps that happened to fit RV ladder tubes and could be used to mount something to the ladder. Anyone have that post or link to the clamps? Thanks.

    Something like this Boat Rail Clamp from the marine realm?

    The ones I have don't look like that but they work in similar fashion, allowing you to put machine screws and nuts through them to attach things.
  • I use standard U-bolts with a slice of inner tube to protect the aluminum. Works great.
  • j-d, that would probably work. I am thinking I recall a different item, but no matter.
  • Hose clamps work well for attaching all kinds of things. Make sure they are stainless steel and good quality, not the cheap Chinese ones.
  • These work well depending on what you want to mount. 3/4" conduit clamps.
