1.5 up to 1.75. The other size is 2 -2.5 I think.

Sorry Jesse - couln't wait any longer so I ordered them from Truck and Winch today for $51.79 shipped. They were 16.71 each but shipping was $18. Shipping costs more than an actual bracket. Oh well, at least they will be here when I return from Holidays to put on.

Doesn't the box say 1.5"?[/quote]


Yes, evidently it does. The product promo says "Fits 1.5 inch - 1.75 inch tubes"

Whatever it says, these ones fit the bar like a glove. The loop part is a somewhat soft, malleable metal with a fair bit of flexibility; AFAIK this co. doesn't offer exact size 1-7/8". Stretching the ones I bought an extra 1/8" was no problem whereas the next size up (2 - 2.5") would likely be too sloppy for the 1-7/8" bar.

I got mine off of JC Whitney out of US for $20 each. Used a coupon code for free shipping. Sent to my US mailing address though.

Lordco sells 2 different styles of these type of brackets from PIAA. They're between $50-70 a piece! :shock:

They are set to arrive today. They did tack on a $22 brokerage fee though. Stupid, because for all the work that took I am sure it did not cost 22 bucks. Oh well, hopefully get them on this weekend and post a pic to show and tell.

Just to update this thread and revive it a little, and also give some feedback. I would have to say this is one of the worst $75 I have ever spent. I had some work done on my van and the mechanic just decided to bend them up instead of undoing them and sliding them off to the side which played a major part in this. SO as a result of this and the flimsy design I had one snap off on the highway today and luckily a friendly motorist raced up beside me and signalled me to stop because one of my giant PIAA's was hanging by one wire. Gladly it is not damaged but these brackets are far from heavy duty. They can be easily bent and struggle to support any weight. I have only had mine for less than a year so buy something else is my recomendation.
