Hi Scot,

Seems you went to a lot of work. I'm lazier so I think I will just go with 
the carefully
located drill holes. The tubes hold tight. I don't understand the part about 
not wanting
to leave any room for softening of the base plates?? Seems to me that by 
undercutting
like that you will only weaken the G-10 and remove mass from right where you 
want
it to carry off the heat. Please tell me how much space you have between the
cylinders? I figure 1/2 diameter would be about right???? Besides, I have a 
3/4-inch
drill that I can use for a nice gauge.   :-))

Thanks for the help.

Happy Day,
Ralph Zekelman
