AHHH, go the whole hog and use a 3/8" x 18" long threaded rod thru both sides with big washers & nuts on each side. That way you won't get the uprights spreading, with no danger of the tube falling off the bearings!
You won't be able to get much above about 50 degrees tho. but it's easier to reach the focuser whilst sitting!!!
