If I don't feel comfortable, I'll order the DOM tube pieces. Metal Supermarkets was like $12 for 2qty 1" pieces so if I can pick them up @ my local storefront that's very do-able. I'll need to do some 'mathing' as I want a snug/machined fit vs. an easy slip fit.
bronzelite shouldn't require a press fit, as long is it goes in the hole and is allowed to "spin" but not "wobble" in the hole. hope that makes sense.
