That was my plan, pretty much.

But, what I really want to know is, does the crossmember 'relax' at all when it's cut and need to have any tension put back in to it with the flanges?

Thanks,

Cool!

Thanks!

I wonder if the flanges could be threaded and just use bolts? And Loctite.

That would be pretty hard to do because you would have to get the flanges just prefect. The bolt and nut method leaves a little wiggle room for error.

7/16 NC grade 8 1-1/2" long with Nylocks.

It's about the 4:00 minute mark on my video above.

You could go up 1 number/fraction of drill on the non tapped side, which would also give some “wiggle room “.
