just a note until I get what's left of my brain back in gear. Just back
---From Hungary having my teeth fixed, they pushed the price so high in UK
they don't get the practice , the Hungarian guy was very professioanal

I don't like the idea of taper pins, there's too much possobo;ity to
pull the torque tube oval and that will ruin the behaviour of the
bearing bushes. It would be possible using a machined plug to resist the
compression but not as simple as it first appears
