The complete Leeson 40-2CD modification article is available on-line at
http://www.qsl.net/w6old/402cd.html.  In Page 6 of that article Dave
Leeson wrote:

"I replaced the loading-coil-terminal plated self-tapped screws with
#10-32 x 1-1/4-inch stainless-steel screws. I drilled and tapped holes
through the aluminum tube and secured the screws with safety nuts."

Following these instructions, including the drilling and taping, will
give the desired results.
