grayrabbit, that looks great. After looking at the photographs I have a suggestion for the next time you run into this problem. With that type of shield "bracket" would it be possible to cut the shield bracket down one side, pry it open a bit to get tube in and let it snap back after. When you replace the shield itself it would pull it together and cover the cut. I don't know if the base of the tube would fit after its in socket and below the circular opening in the top that was too small a diameter to let it pass. That is, when the tube is insert is the base below that opening? PL
