If you run the same size tap thru the existing setscrew threaded hole and into the other side, the threading should be consistent to allow a single machine screw to go all the way through, too. Of course you'd have to drill through the conduit to the OD of the screw. Or drill out the threaded hole, continue through the leg and through the other side and put bolt/machine screw with a locking acorn nut.<BR><BR>Paul Bruesch<BR>Stillwater, MN<BR><BR> <DIV class=gmail_quote>On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 5:22 PM, Joseph Garrett <SPAN dir=ltr><<A href="mailto:joegarrett@earthlink.net">joegarrett@earthlink.net</A>></SPAN> wrote:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class=gmail_quote>Patrick,<BR>Yeah, I did the same thing with the wood plug.
