Picked up the threaded inserts at Hills today. Bought a handfull of 1" ($1.20 each) and 1 1/4" ($1.00 each). Bargain!![/quote]
Glad it worked out Steve.
With the upper truss assembly I used the offset bracket design described by Krieg and Berry. They are cheap and easy to make. If you use their design, you have a loose wing nut or knob which is not much of a hassle - you can attach it with a short chain to the upper cage.
I am experimenting with keeping my struts in pairs, held together with a captive bolt. I haven't fully de-bugged it yet but happy to send a photo if you are interested.
Rod.
