Pop rivets work great for this.

George —

In years past, I’ve had too many beams with worm-gear clamps have their element 
lengths changed when trying to slide them past guy wires or tree limbs.  I put a small 
stainless sheet metal screw through every junction that is relying solely on a hose clamp.  I 
figure it’s either that or rent a helicopter.

The XM240 instructions show the element tips (the 3/8" tubing) being held
by two each of the smaller-width #4 stainless worm-gear clamps. Has anyone
had any issues with the tips coming loose? I have always thought the #4
series to be a little on the fragile side for antennas, but maybe that's
just me.
