Someone in this thread mentioned a Unirac integrated bonding end clamp.
Our supplier has that on the packing slip, but it was still the same end
clamp we always receive. I have checked their website and do not see an
integrated bonding end clamp; just mid clamp. Does Unirac make an
integrated bonding end clamp? Thanks for any help.
