stainless steel structural tie rod system, U.S. manufacture? 2

[HgTX]

I'm looking for a US-made hanger system that meets the following requirements:

-stainless steel
-approx. 2" diameter
-architecturally clean details (the lower connections will be easily visible up close by pedestrians)
-good fatigue characteristics (stress range is not large, but this is a bridge application)

As an example of the kind of thing that might otherwise fit the bill if not for the foreign manufacture, the designer has found this:

Does anyone have any leads?

Thanks!

I just told my boss how much I appreciate my invisible friends on the interwebz.

Trying again there is something in the ether today.

Can you have one threaded and be hidden or such?

If you can tensioning and removal will not be problem..

The reference to Ronstan given by desertfox is good, but Ronstan is an Australian company, so may not fit your requirements.

Hmm. Too bad; the designer liked those. I've submitted an enquiry to Ronstan to find out where their products are manufactured.
