Some have questioned the use of the cantilevered bolts in single shear
but they only take thrust loads. 200 pounds  thrust 3/4 inch up
on the spacer is only 266 inch pounds bending on a steel spacer
that is about 3/4 inch in diameter. A walk in the park for the
spacer and the 1/2 inch bolt clamping it to the tripod.

Opps correction. That should have been 150 inch pounds and not
266 inch pounds.
