I decided to shape the "T" end of this assembly so that it would fit into an aluminum tube. The other problem with these solar arrays is that they are only supported by a fragile little PE truss attached to the sides of the Kvant module. I decided to extend a rod into an aluminum sleeve fitted into Kvant. This is the start of that process.
