thnaks a lot,

thats about 96% of what i was thinking.

i was going to use a strip instead of the ply wood.

i also founf brad t nut with holes instead of the barbs.

and finally i was going to glue/loctite a stud in place instead of the bolt, for fear of somone putting in a bolt too long through the hull.

How does the setup work? is it rigid and stable. my fear was the t-nut would spin under the glass and be dificult to tighten.

why did you not just use the barbs hammered into the plywood?
