If you're unable to find .187" half round let me know and I'll send you enough of it for the BB XII.

I see that looks like the way to go. Now to convince myself to remove all the conduit carefully and switch it out. Should have really thought ahead on this one. I am taking months as well, as I set it aside in frustration. Plus I started on a Estes Pro-Series Jayhawk I want to finish.
