decided not to glue the secondary vanes, and attached small wood pads to them, slotted the upper tubes, and attached the vanes with small masonite washers and deck screws. I cut the central dowel flush with the vanes and drilled a hole through the center of the dowel, attaching the two pieces of the dowel with a deck screw. These modifications allow adjustment of the secondary in 3 axes plus up/down.
