LPA series element mounting: part 6
 As stated before,the element lengths posted in the previous LPA series are
0.9 inches longer for mounting purposes.
 To mount the elements the boom must be aligned for correct hole placement.
 There are several ways to align the elements,but they must be inline from
one end to the other,180 degrees apart on either side of the boom:
    |                 |              |          |      |
    |                 |              |          |      |
    |                 |              |          |      |
    ====================================================
             |                |            |        |
             |                |            |        |
             |                |            |        |
    Note: elements are not scaled with ascii graphics
    Build two of these.
 Element holes are as such: The element side is drilled just large enough to
allow the element to be tapped through with a small hammer.
 The other side is drilled to allow a stainless steel bolt to pass through.
 On the end of the element, the stainless steel bolt should be slightly 
arger
than the hole in the tubing. Tap the element to the thread size of the bolt.
 Insert the element into the boom,then insert the bolt into the other 
ide,and
screw in and tighten.
    *** DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN ***
 A snug fit is best; screw in and then just a tad bit more.
