John-

I have the tube sans the the mounting strap sitting on the floor of my
living room. I am not worried about it imploding. The strap serves the
purpose of holding the four mounting ears on, not structurely (sp?)
holding the tube in one piece.

I definitely appreciate your concern, and your experience over the years.
As I googled for some ears for this tube one of the first links was me
asking about the same thing... 11 years ago. Oh, how time flies!

Have a good one,

Mit
