stand off reinforcement collars
Fed up with your screw posts splitting ? afraid your stand offs will break ? - here's a little bodge for you . Get an old aerial , cut off the top button , and wallah ! Lots of tubing . Find one of the various sizes that will slip over the little darlings . Cut a bit off and CA into place . Simples .
to the bouncy room ! Yay !
Re: stand off reinforcement collars
Very good idea, tubing might work as well but it takes the spark to start the fire,simple yet smart,gotta love this.

Re: stand off reinforcement collars
Why hadnt i thought of that such a neat idea
I'm manning the gun's ! Who's driving ?
Re: stand off reinforcement collars
Great idea. One could use brass tubing as well i suppose.
What I am doing is tapping out the standoffs with a 6-32 tap and then buying 1" 6-32 phillips flat head crown bolts. Tapping these out seem to keep them from splitting. Although I need to try it out on a new turret, but i am doing so on my turret that has some already split and they have not gotten worse, and the unsplit ones are hanging in there.
