Bush,

Thanks for the info. on the wires. Now I know what to check for. I don't think there is any black or green. So you just helped me prevent an unnecessary project.

Will def. go with the brass tubes. Got to put some tools together and get my head right about how I'll go about fixing. I like the idea of making the hole a little bigger so that I can unite the materials. I am still a "padawan" at best and all of these projects are firsts for me. But I learn fast. So we'll see.

Thanks!
