LPA series element mounting: part 6
As stated before, the element lengths posted in the previous LPA
series are 0.9 inches longer for mounting purposes.
To mount the elements the boom must be aligned for correct hole
placement. There are several ways to align the elements, but they
must be inline from one end to the other, 180 degrees apart on either
side of the boom:

Note: elements are not scaled with ascii graphics
Build two of these.
Element holes are as such: The element side is drilled just large
enough to allow the element to be tapped through with a small hammer.
The other side is drilled to allow a stainless steel bolt to pass
through. On the end of the element, the stainless steel bolt should
be slightly larger than the hole in the tubing. Tap the element to
the thread size of the bolt. Insert the element into the boom and then
insert the bolt into the other side, screw in and tighten.
*** DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN ***
A snug fit is best; screw in and then just a tad bit more.
Any questions, contact me here on the echo.
