Started to put a piece of 1/4 gas hose over the threads of the first mounts I built. Instead, I bought some nylon spacers and 1/4 nylon acorn nuts. It does a neat job covering the threads. I have already done it on the custom mounts on the front. I will put up pics of that soon as well. Gotta protect that skin and the line. Don't want any damage on either one.

Cray, apparently you and I think alike. Those exposed threads usually end up being bad news.
