I was thinking of making a male insert to epoxy into the tube somehow too. Could I bond aluminum to the CF somehow to use that as a threaded connection?

This is what I plan on using it for. Im sick of my aluminum tubing sections. You can see in the shot below they fasten together with band clamps, I managed to strip 3 of them last year. Plus CF should be as strong or if not stronger than the aluminum and much lighter so I wont have as much diving board action going on.
