I need some wire rope clamps (like a small U bolt). They are sized for wire rope but I need to clamp M8 threaded rod. Please has anyone any idea what size I need.
Thanks

The thing is it is not made clear in the link whether the 10mm refers to "B" OR "D" in the chart.
What thread size would the 10mm grips be?
As the primary purpose of the clamps are to secure rope of a specific diameter then its the “B” dimension that identifies it size. With smaller clamps the “D” size is limited to a size the nuts wont hit each other?Still not resolved.
In the link provided above it shows a 10mm wire rope clamp and a chart is provided with all the sizes on I require.
The most relevant being thread size "D" on the chart.
and
Distance between legs of thge U bolt "B" on the chart.
If I require these clips for 8mm threaded rod I can easily identify my requirement from the chart.
The M6 threaded grips have 8.5mm between the U bolt legs.
The thing is it is not made clear in the link whether the 10mm refers to "B" OR "D" in the chart.
Furthermore I have found 2 other sellers with similar charts on their sites and just to be sure I contacted them through ebay to ask what the size referred to in the heading and they both have replied and advise rope size. In one case there is no such rope size in the chart.
I have to say the charts make it all clear but it also needs making clear in the description whether the size is rope size or thread size.
Still confused

In the ones I linked to, that is "D" in the chart, but I don't think that will be a standard thing for all manufacturers/sellers.
I would not expect these to grip threaded rod that well, because they rely upon pinching wire rope to provide the grip. Not sure what the OP is trying to achieve, but wouldn't a pair of nuts with some sort of bracket trapped between them work better?
