It worked well. check here- something like this part 4120. This would be riveted to the main beam and the pole would fit over the part and a pin would go through the pole, through the part, then out the other side of the pole. http://www.apsltd.com/Tree/d285000/e282886.asp

Worked very well for both a roller furling screacher and an assym spin. Had a ss cap fabricated for the pole tip to prevent crushing, and a socket created out of a section of alum tubing just larger than the butt end of the pole with a rectangular plate welded to it that I then secured to the main beam. I'd advise against butting the pole to the front crossbeam, the compression forces on the pole are pretty substantial, the main beam is much stouter. Feel free to call me.
