i took a grinder to mine... and got it flat so it wouldn't roll...
then took vise grips and clamped it to gether with that....
my solder job doesn't look great... have a few solder blops that I managed to somewhat remove after... but it still left a silver like shiny spot on the copper in spots... not bad for the first time with a torch.
I'll take pictures of it when i'm done...
have yet to put on the mounting bracket so i can bolt it into the CDRom cage.
i took 4" of the remaing copper pipe and will cut it length ways and bend it out to make a C shape. one side i will solder to the HD block, the other i will drill and tap.
I'll give it a litle bit of leeway so i kan add some rubber to help minimize the vibrations a bit.
