Bond them to 1-3/8 OD aluminum tubing. You can get 1-3/8 bends
.065 wall from Burns.

Ah! That makes sense! Sounds like a lighter and less expensive solution
than -24 AN. That must be why I bought them. I'll "bond" them with wood glue
and use the O ring off a milk bottle - right?

What does "as 568A-30" mean? 

Bond them with Hysol, high temp epoxy or JB Weld. 
Come on John I know you read drawings
because you saw the "as 568A-30" O-ring spec :-)
It seez Hysol right on the drawing.
Buy the O-rings  from McMaster Carr or any bearing house.

Burns who? Stainless. Check the ACRE NL web site.

Check with Greg Richter on that.
I did already. It is heavy and expensive. I didn't test it for stiff.

Here is a wiggins clamp idea I don't have time to try or test. Would
be quick and cheaper to make.

BTW How's Greg doing? Not heard from him. Must be filling all those
orders for glass cockpits he should have sold at OSH. Nice unit.
