Bandsaw mounting tube wobble

I have 2 of the newer style bandsaws with the aluminum tables. when I mount them there is a bit of slop (back and forth) when mounted in the power mount. The tubes aren't long enough to go all the thru the power mount holes by about an inch. I wonder if should buy a set of mounting tubes used in the strip sander as they apper in the pictures to be longer. I can't find any specs saying what the length of the tubes are though.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you solve it so there was no wobble?

It sounds like the lock handle is out of adjustment. Remove the lock handle and screw the bolts in all the way. Then screw each one out the same number of turns until the bolt heads will engage the slot in the end casting. Then turn the handle and lock down the Band saw. That should fix the problem.
