In a perfect world, you could have something like the system the CGE uses.. Depending on the tube diameter, maybe you could even USE the CGE system.
In the CGE system, it is a ring that goes completely around the outer tube leg. There is a split in one end with projections that take the spreader bar. VERY clean system.
Maybe your friend could fabricate something similar.
But if you can get him to weld a tab on, that might work fine too. As long as you are careful with it when you fold up the tripod. it will probably be fine.
