I need to attach 2 short lengths of 1/2" EMT tubing parallel to the top tube of a bicycle frame, one on each side. The EMT tubes will extend about 20" forward of the bike frame. The frame tube is about 1" dia. I want to drill horizontally through all 3 tubes and attach everything with a pair of #10 machine screws. Prob. is how to drill the holes on center so everything lines up. I have both a drill press and cordless drills at my disposal. Suggestions? Methods? Tools? Thanx, Harry Wright Brothers Bike Guru Wright 1902 glider Wright 1899 kite Any reason you've ruled out epoxy in lieu of the bolts? Seems like you could make a nice neat job of it. You can get it in different colors, or add pigment to the clear stuff. |
