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.... :confused::confused::confused:

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 (https://www.amazon.com/Inch-Delrin-Plastic-Bearings-G1-10/dp/B01N9FW1LX/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1503415177&sr=8-6&keywords=delrin+balls) @ 10 for $8.95
1/4 x 20 t-slot bolts (https://www.amazon.com/Big-Horn-19764-5PK-T-Bolt-4-20/dp/B01DO5TBCK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1503415540&sr=8-2&keywords=t+slot+bolts) @ 5 for $4.42


that means if you have a drill press and a 1/4x20 tap ($6.02 from amazon (https://www.amazon.com/CHANNELLOCK-8120-x20-NC-Tap/dp/B0009F86GQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1503415704&sr=1-4&keywords=1%2F4+x+20+tap), or $13.99 for an entire set from Harbor Freight (https://www.harborfreight.com/40-pc-carbon-steel-sae-tap-and-die-set-63016.html)), you can make 10 of those things for $1.78 each.

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....
