HI Wilson

The coax jacks are already mounted with nuts and bolts to the inside of the tuner where there is no paint, just aluminum. The suggestion with the cliplead sound like a good idea. I'll give that a shot after the RTTY Roundup. 73

If it helps, you may be able to retension the bearing fingers.  If not, use a 
big electrolytic cap and spotweld some small braid across the bearings.
Check cap mounting nuts.
I had the rivet problem, fixed with two screws/connector.  One would be fine 
too.
