Hey Steve, I just quickly turned down a bit of aluminum stock to check fit in table leg receiver. Turned to 1.375. Yeah, I must have been on goofballs when I thought no imperial sized tubing would work. The 1.375 is a tad sloppier fit but I think it would be acceptable . Mind you, I have turned down flanged sleeves to fit in both front and rear table holders. Did that to improve the fit of the stock set up. So my female parts are a tad closer fit than stock. Won’t say that last sentence out loud any time soon :-) Alistair > On May 20, 2018, at 9:35 AM, Steve Williams <sbw@SBW.ORG> wrote: > >> On 5/20/2018 9:17 AM, Alistair Bell wrote: >> ...
