Geoff reacted to this post about 2 years agoOK, so this is the mock-up of how I hope the Flyscreen will work (made with 10mm square - I still have to get the channel).
The brass ends that fit inside the tube will have small indents on their faces, in two positions that correspond to the two angles at which the screen may be set - and the mounting brackets will have small raised portions to engage with the indents.
10x10x1.5mm channel will be attached to the tube with a dozen or so self tappers (even this mock-up with just two screws is very strong). I have some 3mm and 6mm clear plexiglass and will decide which works best in a frame made of the channel - frame will be on bottom and sides only. Also need to decide whether to use silicon or rubber C-trim to surround the plexiglass.
Have fun
