Gentlemen,

Here is my proposed mod.

Turn insert nut diameter 34mm and 19mm thick. Cut in half, 2 small blobs of
silastic to increase diameter to 35mm. This will hold insert in tube due to
compression of silicon. Tap bolt hole to suit eg. 1/4 af. Make sure a bolt
plain shank long enough so that no thread is in contact with tubes.

Saddle washers turned to o.d. of tubes. 16mm dia and 1/4 inch thick at
smallest radius.

Loctite or wire-lock bolts to suit.

If you want to discuss this with me, my phone number in Australia
0882773423. Get the time difference right.

Cheers,
John Baker,
