Also, this mounting arrangement isn't really designed to facilitate anything more substantial than standard coaxials.
I would either replace the existing interior mounting rings with new HDPE ones that use set screws around the perimeter of the pods for mounting
or
I would glue and seal in place a couple of 1/8-inch thick aluminum rings at the interior face of the pods.
In either case I would have a stable foundation for my new HLCDs and do away with the light duty bracketry inside.
