take an end cap and drill a 1/4 inch hole in the top center. Try to center it as best you can or else the camera will be tilted... like mine.

then assemble like this:
1.insert bolt into hole and thread into camera. Note how much extra space you have on the bolt.
2.add nuts on the inside of the cap to shorten the length of exposed bolt. (remember you'll need a bolt on the outside as well to secure it.)
3.place a bolt on the outside to secure it. Tighten A LOT.
4.screw your camera back on again to double check the length of the bolt. it should show any thread between the camera and the nut.
5.once you are secure with the length of the bolt, slide the washer over it. It would be wise to secure it with some j.b. weld or something to that effect. Mine keeps falling off. I'm sure I'll lose it.
