Bill

it is posible to reuse the H section as I did when replacing boom tube I cut 

both sides of the old tube for a template be carefull not to  get them mixed 

up  Right and left ,get your 3/8 holes in the tube so they match the cage  

slide your H section inside and run the bolt through the templates and new tube  

start drilling from the 3/8 hole outward in both directions installing clecos 

as you go I did it this way and hit every hole without a problem  I hope this 

helps you out

you can use paper if you want but the old tube will help you from a slip with 

that drill in an expensive piece of tube, its your choice how much tube do 

you want to buy

  the old tube is easy to cut use a skill saw just cut it a couple inches 

wide and long enough so you can secure the ends with a couple of stainless steel 

hose clamps and you will have alot better jig that will prevent a slip of your 

drill

Ellery,

 

Expensive is right, especially when you add shipping costs.

Herb,

 

Thanks for the confirmation of procedure.  But why have you already  done it 

2 or 3 times?
