Here is how I attach my e-bay to the body tube. Hope this helps.
Items needed to attach electronics bay to body tube.
Drill
Drill bits ( I use 7/64 and 11/64 if doing #8 screws)
T-nuts
Buttonhead screws
5 minute epoxy
Thin CA
Masking tape
Mixing board
Tooth picks
Gloves
Sandpaper
First thing mark your coupler half the length so you know where the center is. Insert coupler into body tube to that mark. I like to tape the tubes together so they do not move while drilling hole.
Now find mark on tube and drill through both tubes. I start with the 7/64 for a pilot hole and then drill with 11/64.
Now I remove the tape and pull the coupler out of the tube. At this point I put some CA around the holes I drilled. See pictures. Let this harden up and the sand the burrs off.
