Not sure whether to JB weld then on the new struts or drill, tap and bolt it.

As for the small pipe, mine is fine with a K85. People are putting the pipes too deep into the bell, so an adjustment of that would help. This thing knife-edges superbly, but don't use the supplied rudder mount.
On the rudder mount, Are you talking about the hinges or the servo mount, I have just started on mine but I am not that far on the installation.
