Yup I'm going to use that as an advantage. The first version was very
solid, even with a bit missing

Dear I say it, it was/is more for cosmetic reasons than purposeful reasons.
When I counter sink the 16mm SC struts the wood drill bit breaks through
the other side leaving a hole which has to be filled. So I was thinking of
replacing the filled hole look with one of those fancy helmet looking end
bolts. I have to go over to Ballina this morning so I'll drop back into Bunnings
while I'm passing through Lismore.


Also I've been trying to track down Teflon, where can I get it? does it sell
under another name?
