EZ makes a support brace that would be perfect. Maybe he'll post a pic of it.
Oh, BTW, you can't get credit for the TM instal WITHOUT PICS......
Try to get some later Maj, I'm at sleep doctor right now :) and of course I'm sittin & WaitinQuote:

Then use a Velcro strap to hold TM and brace down.

I have one that EZ made works great and easy to install. Has a milled aluminum base that the pipe fits in, has a T at the top that has been split in half and a rubber lining......also comes with a great strap to cinch it all down with.
That milled aluminum base is a key piece as it keeps the bottom of the base in the desired spot.Quote:
