I might have filed/sanded down the post clamp head insert portion so it was a just barely slip fit then LockTite it to reduce the stress on the post shaft. Is it an artifact of the fixturing or do I see stress lines on the shaft running down from the new top edge about 1"? I've seen this type of micro surface cracking with a tight press fit before. Andy
