Absolutely Walt, good observation! I realize that the pinch connection of that bracket won't hold the bar tight. It's hard to see in the photos, but the bolts that hold the bracket also come into contact with the bar and help to hold it in place. So it's not the frictional force of the pinch that I'm counting on, but rather the mounting bolts to hold the bar in contact with the braces. Of course it's not perfect though with the garage built brackets that I made. I've got a guy who works for me who's a machinist and I'll probably have him make me some precision brackets that will tighten it up to the gnat's ass. I want to try out this concept first though before taking it the next step.
