Hey, Bry.

I'm gonna try to carefull drill all the way through the aluminum center hub and run som solid c.f. rod the same diameter all the way through it, center it and epoxy it in. Then put the weights on the end of that; if too floppy, then will super glue a shorter piece of tight fitting c.f. tubing on the inner half or so, then screw in the weights backed up with ca. I think it might work. It will always be straight and will flex enough to hopefully eliminate the stress. I don't know about the light paddles of how it would work with that, but I'm always trying to eliminate steel wherever possible. I just want the weight on the ends, You know? Maybe I'll drop a Gram or two.

I'm gonna have Michael send me three hubs.

Wish Me luck,


Gary
