[TowerTalk] KLM 40M4 Linear Loading Hardware

[DENNIS BRICKEY]

Hey Guys, 



I'm rebuilding a couple of KLM 40M4 yagis.  The plastic peanuts that are inserted into the bolt mounting ends of the loading tubes have deteriorated to some degree and 

some of them have broken in half.  My question is this.  Is there any reason why I can't mill some aluminum rod to use in place of the plastic peanuts? 

I hope this is not an entirely stupid question.  Thanks in advance for the guidance! 

73,
