Thanks guys. I have some nice scraps of 1/2" aluminum plate that I will double up for this 1" adapter. I will pin them together with some 1/4-20s at first, then when installed there will be four 7/16" bolts and four 1/2" bolts clamping them together I don't think they'll slide'. Tomorrow I REALLY have to assemble those cabinet boxes, and then on the weekend I will get back to drilling holes. In working with Ford's cast iron hogshead assembly I have found that it's a beautifully made assembly and besides, I have 2 or 3 of them just sitting here collecting dust. They just kinda pulled me in. Cast iron has a way of doing that. I'll get some pictures on Saturday.
