Rob,
Before you settle on the reinforcement method, be sure it will allow R&R
of the air hose fittings between the bag support plates.

Rob;
I wish I had seen these pictures a couple of months ago. I always
assumed the uprights bent along with the cross plates. I still wonder
why my antics this morning did not bend them?
Thanks;
Gordon

Ken;
You already know how to do things correctly. Why would you spend time
finding out how one warped mind can devise incorrect methods? As the
shop owner said, "I wonder what kind of stupid s**t you used to do
before you quit drinking."

Rob;
I am going to take two 1" long 3/4" bolts with 4 nuts and put them in at
12:00 and 6:00. Then I will back the nut off until they are tight,
using the second nut as a lock. When I need to get at an air line
fitting, I can remove them.

Are the clocks all hung upside down in AUS? How the heck can you
explain anything to the rest of the world using your clock?
I resemble your remark;
