Patrick,
Your fix really sounds doable. I think I'm going to give it a try your way.
I'd like to see the bolt heads on the flat washers holding the insulation
when all's done -- as with the original look and this will allow it. (I was
thinking of drilling and putting bolts through from the inside -- with heads
glued.)
I've got a Jule frame as well. Just starting assembly of rear end, springs,
front end etc. Given your experience, anything else I might run into with
the frame?
Thanks,
Tom
