When I put my small array together I made a hand folding break out of scrap to make my clamps
 cost of break $000.000 cost of clamps just a piece of .050" aluminum scrap that I cut into small pieces.




I live so far outside of the box, when I die they will stretch my carcass over the coffin

I have a piece of bent  uni-strut I found this morning I could use. I will try and make a few clamps to see how they work.
 I have 25-30 = 3/8 nuts and bolts I can use. 13
