Re: [FTC]: More assistance...

Regarding the PVC pipe, you just have to drill holes in it and bolt it on. if you are trying to spin the tube like an axle, i suggest taking one to the pieces of channel that has only one set of holes in it,the 1x1x1 piece. Then drill two hole through the pvc pipe on the vertical axis that line up with two of the holes in the hole pattern. then you need some bolts that are extra long that dont come in the kit but are included in "related hardware". use spacers to space the tube to the center of the piece. bolt it together and now you have a mount.it looks kind of like this(double lines or the metal single are the tube stars are the bolts, disregard dots.
