That's an interesting variation. I'm concerned that the 2x4 may have
a tendency to wobble however unless you use fairly large diameter
pipe. My spacers are 2x4 pieces cut to about 4 inch lengths.


I agree, and was planning to use large diameter washers at either end of
the spacer pipes. Tack-welding the washers to the pipes is probably a
good idea too.
