Graham,
What is your view on the Mod 72 method of protection?  The spec calls for 
painting all surfaces with etch primer, allowing it to dry and then applying 
the ACF 50 before assembly.  If the insert is a tight fit, presumably it 
will skin the etch primer back to the metal as it enters the frame tube.  I 
like Ron's idea of assembling the inserts with the paint on both surfaces 
still wet.  What is your opinion?
Regards,
William
