Wow, are those bolts small!

yes - if you've got 1 1/2" and 2" tubes, you could use a 3/8" bolt with
no problem.
I'd actually use a quick pin with a captive cotter - like you see on
trailer hitches. No fumbling around with nuts and washers.

The upper section of mast is 12' of 6061 aluminum, 1-1/2" diameter, 1/8"
wall thickness. _IF_ by some miracle, it happens to telescope, that's
great, but my assumption is that I will bolt this side-by-side to the lower
mast at three places, using #6 SS bolts (4" long). Just below each antenna,
we will attach guys running forward and back along the RV.
Am I missing anything important?
