Subject: REFLECTOR:Stick to torque tube slop.
This is a second try. My pictures were too big in the first attempt so =
I reduced the resolution.
=20
Jim Agnew came up with an elegant solution to this problem in a previous =
thread. My lack of machine shop access led to my own solution. It's =
cheap easy and everyone already has the stuff on hand to do it. It =
requires two wide area washers, Alpha Epoxy and some flox. All you need =
do is temporarily bolt the wide area washers to the stick and torque =
tube, fill in the space between the tubes and the washers with a nice =
thick flox mixture. Let cure, remove the bolts and reassemble. You're =
done.

Instead of boring you with another 2,000 words, I've attached two =
pictures instead.
