[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 992276, member: 1290"] I like to make my pillars from 1/2 inch aluminum rod you can get cheap at the local Ace Hardware. Make them with a .250" hole to start so the screws fit them well. I drill the stock with a 9/16 end mill. To texture the outside of the pillar to lock them into the epoxy I thread them with say a 13 tpi right hand thread and then go right back over them with a 13 tpi left hand thread. Cut deep in one or two passes raises up plenty of burrs for the epoxy to bite into. Marine Tex is my epoxy of choice to mount them. When the bedding job is done last step it to drill them to 5/16th to make clearance for the screws. [/QUOTE]
