Hi! Peter.
Yes, you are right the TP12's and the TP9 are all stainless. However we are
going ahead with our clamp idea( with respects to John Moran's Intellectual
Property if he insists?) which I'll publish when approved, but I can't see
any structural objection is possible since we are only beefing up rather
than changing existing design. Watch this space.....

Bob,
As you say, and as I understand, the torque tube is nickle plated. I believe
that the TP12 is stainless. However, I seem to remember that Loctite still
reconed on the activator being a 'good idea' for the nickle plated side of
the join too.

Hi! Peter.
Thanks for the reply. Good to know, I'm sorely tempted ! However just out of
interest I know that the torque tube is NICKLE plated so I guess it isn't
stainless otherwise it wouldn't plate.
Not that the plate stays on long! Don't know about the TP12 and TP9 Parts
though.
That's only about 5 replies I've had plus one I know locally, so 1) either a
lot of people are not aware or 2) a lot of people are more accurate than you
or I , an item which I suspect the factory subscribe to! I was pleased to
see that you said yours was accurately machined, I know mine was the second
time and I know my local freinds was but all are still wearing.
