bucket forks hold downs

[Oldpath05]

I think I would've put two of those clamps on each fork but seeing how those clamp pads are pushing $40.00/ea, I'd have one clamp with no pad and most important I'd have short pipes on top of each clamp bolt and run a bar though that like a regular C clamp. So on each fork, one clamp near cutting edge, and one clamp in the bucket.

Nope there 16/16" bolts, when I bought them I ran the threads up higher with 16/16" thread die. The bolts are going through doubled up truck spring.
Here's a picture of my homemade 16/16" wrench, made out of truck spring.

McMaster Carr has a good selection of those swivel pads, they also sell the replacement pads for c-clamps that snap onto the ball end.
