man those are cool! I have to pull my TC UCA's off pretty soon to replace the bushings and Uniballs.. I could install those gussets at the same time and not feel so bad about replacing the bushings and Uniballs.

Just ordered them. The only problem was they don't have gift wrapping. I guess Zoom will have to wrap them herself!!!

Call me crazy but I am almost contemplating cutting the center tube enough to allow two shorter bolts to come in from either side and have nuts in the center. Certainly would make it easier to 'mantle' and 'dismantle' Plus having picked up those bolts before, it would be nice to be able to just go to the bolt store instead of the stealer!

Not to get too geeky, but the strength I'm looking for is shear on that bolt since the bolt would no longer bend from the deflection in the Y axis!
Since it's pretty much a cantilevered beam on the current setup's outer part of the bolt. I wish I had a highs peed camera filming that bolt during some of the times I've been flying through the desert (both literally and figuratively). I am sure you are right about the bending of that bolt. That bolt must bend!
Also, I hear play up there from time-to-time and the gussets should make for a sweet setup. We'll see.
Once those gussets are in, the 'bending' allowed in the stock set will be virtually eliminated. In the setup I'm thinking about, both of the ends of the bolts holding the UCA will be 'pinned' on both ends. The more I think about it, the more I like it.

The idea sounds like it has potential, I say go for it. Hell that might be the next big thing for everyone to try........after youNot to get too geeky, but the strength I'm looking for is shear on that bolt since the bolt would no longer bend from the deflection in the Y axis!

Yeah, I think having two bolts will basically double your failure points. Not to mention that the bolts to install will be much easier.

Just to clarify, I don't mean to say two ponta of failure, but taking your single point and cutting it in half.
