Thanks for you input Gerard.  That's why I posed the question to the list.  Those are things that crossed my mind but without any experience I couldn't make an educated decision. List members have now provided that experience.

Cheers!!

Proportionally, they look at least 2.5 times thicker than what would give you what you need.  Also, those locating pins to positively locate the blocks are incorrect. The U-bolts are probably too wide also. I think you’d have a total fail on your hands.
