Search for "wire rope clip" at Home Depot or Lowes for a u-bolt type
clamp. In one application, I cut the bolts then wrapped it a bunch in
electrical tape so it wouldn't scratch me.
I also used some 1/8" cable to make a lock for my kayak on the roof rack
and just used a 3lb sledge hammer on the sidewalk. That one I covered
in heat shrink tubing.
