CF pipe mounting?

[Woodward James R Civ 416 FLTS/TPS]

One thing I've done with pretty good results is to use the Dave Brown
"white" little piece of platic that you can pass a zip-tie under.  It is
like a 1/2" square deal, with a radiused top for the curvature fo the pipe.
Then, use some 1.0"  heat shrink tubbing and "shrink" it around the hole
thing, making sure the tubbing is sucked down on the top, with the open ends
on the side of the mount.  Trim it a little, and cut a little hole in the
top-center for the 6/32 screw to pass through the top, so you'll also have
access with the ball driver.  This provides a nice rubber cushion around the
little device, and it won't wear a hole in the pipe.  Then,, depending on
your pipe channel, either mount that to a lord-mount, or a 6/32 well-nut
that just passess through the pipe channel floor.  well nuts of all sizes
avail. from those McMasterCarr folks.

Tony, 
Do you punch a hole for the 8-32 in the strap?  I'd imaging the bolt head
would be rubbing against the pipe.  How do you protect against this?

Terry: 

I use a "lord mount" on it.  I attach a strap around the back of the pipe,
just forward of the stinger.  The strap attaches to the lord mount via a
8-32 bolt. 

 I use the same set-up on the front of the pipe, where the teflon attaches
to the pipe.  A strap, then a piece of brass tubing to make a bushing to get
the proper height, then a long screw to go through the strap, bushing, and
into the lord mount. 

 Never had any breakage using a Hyde mount.
