FAQs
Are these clamps compatible with other wire gauges?
These clamps are specifically engineered for 8SWG wire. Other gauges may result in a loose fit or prevent the clamp from sealing correctly.
How many pieces are in one package?
Each package contains 4 individual JP Double Saddle Clamps.
Do these clamps come with mounting screws?
The kit includes the clamps; please check your specific model’s mounting plate requirements for the appropriate screw lengths.
Can these be used for heavy-duty nitro RC planes?
Yes, these are designed to handle the vibration and landing stresses typical of standard and heavy-duty RC aircraft.
What is the best way to prevent the screws from vibrating loose?
Using a small amount of thread-locking fluid on the screw threads is a recommended practice for all RC hardware.
Troubleshooting
The landing gear feels loose after installation.
Verify that the wire gauge is exactly 8SWG and ensure the mounting screws are tightened in an alternating, even pattern.
Difficulty threading the screws into the mounting base.
Ensure the pilot holes in the base are aligned with the clamp holes and check that the mounting surface is flat.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure, vibration-resistant mounting for landing gear
- High-quality construction suitable for frequent flight use
- Includes a complete set of four units per package

Cons
- Specific to 8SWG wire gauges
- Requires proper alignment for optimal clamping
- Not intended for non-RC structural applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up these clamps, ensure you are using genuine 8SWG wire; using a wire gauge that is too small may result in a loose fit, while a larger wire may prevent the clamp from closing properly. Use standard matching hardware to mount the clamps to your model's chassis.
For maintenance, periodically inspect the screws for tightness, especially after flight sessions involving hard landings. If the aircraft is exposed to moisture or extreme environments, apply a light machine oil to the screws to prevent corrosion and ensure they can be easily removed for future model adjustments.
