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.
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.
