[NSRCA-discussion] Carbon wing tube question

[Wayne Galligan]

John,

I use a piece of pvc pipe, split so that it will compress smaller then the 
inside of the tube and set in place with some thin C/A.    Dril and tap for 
4-40 bolt.  Then add a drop of thin c/a to the threads let cure and retap to 
harden the threads.

Good Luck,

Wayne Galligan
