Can you.......
Replace the stud with a larger size.....or even better eliminate the free play so the stud can not bend but would have to shear......
Or you could stop bending long pieces of 14 gauge metal...... On the chimney fires....do you guys still use the special flares that they lite and threw in the stove.......???? it consumed the oxygen and generated an inert gas that choked off the fire without spraying water all over on hot steel........... Cheers

Talked to my local machinist tonight at a meeting. He's getting me some strong shoulder bolts to use. I'm also going to add another piece of channel to hold the other end of the stud. That should hold everything and then I'll find the next week point.
Never seen that kind of a flare. We have a grenade type thing but never seen it used. It's a pricey piece of one time use only kit.

And last night I had part of the sheet metal brake snap off and go flying across the shop with a bang. Oh well it's something else to fix and make stronger.

Jordan,
That is a great find. They are a very rare CMP item. Have you thought about reproducing them? Brian

Ok things are now back on track. Not wanting to loose anytime after work to sleep I've got the sheet metal brake back together and things are all fixed up. I replaced the stud with some high strength set screws. I then used some spare box channel and c channel I had to make holder. This will now support the other end of the stud and should keep it from bending up. I'll keep going with this until the next part lets go and then that will be beefed up.
