Ah, very good idea. The thru pins I will be using a lot elsewhere, but
a set screw in conjunction sounds excellent. Welding a nut on the outside
for a set screw is a great idea, but that reminds me of the question that
came up the other day: Concerning welding nuts on, what is the best way to
get it square, not cook off the threads or otherwise damage the nut, and get
it exactly where you need it to be? Working with stick here. Last time I
did one with a torch it turned out to be a royal PITA.
