can someone explain the rivet on the back concept. it seems like it would get the least compression and release on the side.
my answer to this is a one piece mast
I'm sure I saw a design/suggestion somewhere for a 1 piece plastic collar, i.e. the bottom plug and collar joined by a thin tube - fits over the mast but not as thick as the bottom plug so its just as easy to insert the top section. Again you wouldn't have to drill the rivet hole and wouldn't be worried by glue giving way under the collar. The tube would automatically set the collar at the correct position too.
Looks like a simple solution - anyone know if it is being considered ?
Anyone tried buying a bare mast from a supplier ? You could claim to have the old fittings and want to re-install them on a new mast tube - esp when your top section breaks after only 15months (like mine did) and they are still like new.
