I didn’t seem to document this in my build log but what I ended up doing is using a recessed push button pin, much like what Linn described, on the pax stick. Specifically it was a SS Recessed Push-Button Quick-Release, Mcmaster-Carr part number 92385A015. With a 4600# shear strength I’m not overly concerned about it breaking.

There was a thread like this I believe over on VansAirForce some time ago. I am thinking about it but have not come to any conclusion yet nor has it come to the time when any decision must be made. From the thread I noted and stored one thing that might be able to be used. It is from McMaster.com (McMaster-Carr) and is called a 'Telescoping Tubing Quick-Release Button connector'. The part numbers of note are 92988a650 and 92988a730. Not sure if they would work but it is floating around in the mush between my ears. [Laughing]

Michael,
What kind of clearance do you have with the head?

On another slightly different subject, did you route your wiring through the curved part of the stick and then exit before the pin or were you able to route it past the pin/bolt, or did you go external all the way?
I am wondering what most others are doing.

I didn't seem to have any clearance problems at all. The head is actually quite small. I have the whole section ripped apart at the moment as I'm putting in my AFP purge return line so when I go to put it back together I'll try to remember to take a few pictures. As far as the wiring goes, I'll let you know when I get there. Wink
