J Bolt ModificationThe idea here is to slightly bend the J bolts so that they fit into the pier slots. We had an aluminium tube on hand, but it proved to weak to bend the bolts. It was worth at try.

J Bolt Mod attempt 2We'll try next with with a steel tube for the JBolts, Lowes sells steel tubes, but in 10' poles. We don't have the tools to shear that to the proper length, so we are currently trying to trouble shoot a solution.

Success?We decided to just bend the JBolts with a large pipe. They only need to be bent a hair or so. A torch heated them sufficiently to make them more malleable.
