The place I'm going to cut will be pretty high. I'll be using the stem plus 5 spacers.
Thanks for all the advice on putting in the star nut. I'd looked at all of them but decided to buy the right tool for the job. I've built a lot of things and have found out that most times when I try to improvise it bites me in the butt. (plus I'm thinking this won't be my last build and nothing beats having the right tool for the job)
