but it works for now...and, I only have $15.00 invested in hardware. I'd say guess where the chocolate came from, but.....
Started out gluing up a couple of pieces of chocolate & made a recess for the threaded rod retainer...
5/8" rod was the largest HD had on hand
Used 1/2" rod for guides, and roll pins for retainers...
Need to replace this sad attempt{though it is working} with something a little more substantial and do a wee bit better job recessing the nut this too has a roll pin set into the nut to hopefully help keep it from spinning...
Get's just a hair over an 8" spread, and as mentioned, so far so good...
