Here are two ideas; take your pick; caveat antennator...


1. Use non-metal-bearing joint compound (NOALOX) at the joints. I've
never tried this; it's NOT what KLM reccommends, but it has been
used and recommended by others, although never, to my knowledge, on
a KT-34...

2. Pop-rivet or sheet metal screw the joints (not the capacitors, please!).
