stuffing tube support?

[RIPFENCE]

any of you come up with a clean looking effective way to support your stuffing tube? its one area i would like to improve on..pics would be nice if you have a slick way of doing it..i have used the "T" bars before but they are kind of gommie..i just do not want to gump putty or something like that in there..:popcorn2:

The entire tube, or the end closest to the motor?

[RIPFENCE]

closer to the motor rum..thanks for the clarification

I usually use 2.5 or 3mm CF plate. Drill a hole the size of the stuffing tube, then cut the plate to desired shape. Little bit of light glass and resin, and all done!

I make a small wedge of wood to brace it then glass it in.

I usually epoxy a piece of ply between the rails & over the tube. Finish off with a bit of light glass around the joints.
Just glued this one in about an hour ago.

I had my small stand machined like this. it makes the stuffing tube replaceable in case a broken flexshaft may destroy it, and that did happen to me.

I normally just use a piece of ply or carbon plate. Works well.
