If you build a wood truss clamp similar to Kriege's design, you could have a small brass shim (similar to to the brass ring inside a focuser assembly which clamps onto the eyepiece). So when you clamp the truss clamp, the brass shim makes contact with the aluminium pole.
If you use this method, you can still disconnect the poles with no wires in the way - the poles become the wires!
