I'm marking known tubes or brackets or bolts that needed to be replaced with blue tape. I knocked 5 off with the work last night and tonight: trimmed the tube to length and sorted out the mounting to the other end. Also trimmed the lower cabane compression strut and added the two washer + rivet retention onto the new cabane. I'm debating to not add the upper compression strut.
The new u-bracket is 1-1/4" channel instead of 1" channel, and thus the cabane fits within the bracket without any ovalizing. I'm trading a little bump in the covering for a lot less pain.
For now, feels like it's done. Done tonight anyway!
