Which tbolt clamps?
McMaster-Carr
300 or 316 series ?
I really don't want to spend $8 per clamp. I just don't know how a zinc coating holds up.
OR
T-Bolt Clamps - Columbia River Mandrel Bending
304 SS and supports a site vendor. I don't know if the nut and bolt are SS or zinc coated steel.
What are your thoughts???

$2.40 a clamp.
cxracing.com: 1.5", 2", 2.25", 2.5", 2.75", 3" and 3.5" Stainless Steel Clamp 12 Pieces Set, Choose from Any Size.
I've used them a bunch, but they require one thing: a $.05 washer behind each nut, as the square housing behind the nut is roughly 7/16", along with the nut, and your wrench will often slip over it and lock up.
Edit: I know you need aluminum for your block off plate but I'm pretty sure most Home Depots will carry something that will work for that. Even a piece of steel wouldn't be much heavier, although I believe they should carry a piece of aluminum thick/big enough for your use.
