The brass is a very good idea. I had also thought of that. But, decided against it only because I do not have a piece of 1" brass 2' long, and to buy one, it would cost as much as the new auger! LOL!.
I don't think turning the auger is a good idea. The two augers alternately feed the impeller. I think turning it 90° would make it feed uneven. Slug, nothing, slug, nothing..... See what I mean?
