Sorry for the large image.

So in the picture you can see where the standoffs are round. The 2x1 tubing goes along where those standoffs are rounded. The tube is then trapped with the face of the hexagon portion of the standoff on one side and a washer and bolt on the other side.

This isn't the best example as I accidentally used 5/16" hex standoffs when I should have used 3/8" or larger. This would help create more surface contact to help spread the load over a bigger area.
