How do you address the problem of lateral movement of the tower plates? Some vendors sell tapered nuts that prevent this movement?
Actually, we have addressed this issue in a very subtle, sensible, and economical manner. The competitors conical nuts you mentioned cost $14.00 each adding $84.00 to the cost of the installed strut (six of them) I posed this issue to the design team and they came up with a clever solution to drill the three holes in the ring slightly off center with respect to one another. This causes at least two of the studs on each ring, to be forced against the inside wall of their respective hole and also places the shoulder on the nut to again be forced against the wall (tight fitting) in the counter bore. This system, in conjunction with the extra deep, machined, undercutting of the plates that engage the ribs in the tower dome, and the torque on the nuts, prevents any sideways movement or slipping of the plates. It is in fact so subtle and effective, it goes totally unobserved by the average owner/installer at the time of installation. Our solution is so clever and efficient, we hesitate to pu
