The perimeter has a first pre-determined shape. The method further includes the step of press-fitting an end portion of a spindle having a second pre-determined shape different than the first pre-determined shape into the hole to establish a tight fit between the spindle and the tube retaining the spindle in coupled relation in the tube.
