Yes - alignment is rather important (extremely so). Just dropping them in by hand and hoping for the best isn't going to cut it. I suppose a "guider" piece could be made up so that the middle plate nestles into it and the tubes are pushed through and held in alignment by the guider piece would work.
Applying adhesive to 52 x 1/16" "holder" holes by hand and aligning them is a little more than 2 minutes work though...
Then again, may be possible to do a "press fit" thing. Use the guider plate, drop the tubes in, and have a top plate with pins hanging down that pushes onto the tops of the flanges and tap it with a hammer. This would naturally force the flange to flatten out and jam into the wall of the plastic tube that the pieces are sitting in, and that would solve the problem of keeping them in place and do it rather quickly. Would then have to worry about whether or not the polycarb will crack as a result of doing this though.
Yes, Since87. Bumping in a $500US minimum order size there.
