A while back there was a post on what to make the pickup tube out of. I
made mine out of aluminum and now I'm wondering if it will be adequate,
like not enough holes drilled into the tube and any stress on  the
part?? Karibian

When I made mine, I had concerns about vibration; and used SS and braced it
for further reinforcement.  I put the original screen on the bottom.  The
concern with aluminum would be the possibility of work hardening and fatigue
failure due to vibration.
