The connection walls include cylindrical mounting collars and segments of cylinders. The mating walls include connector tabs and circular end walls. Each mating wall includes a peg disk relief, a fastener bore, and an array of peg recesses spaced about the bore. The connector members are secured together in sets of two, three, four, five or six by positioning a peg disk between the mating walls of the connector members to be connected together and passing a fastener through the connector members and the peg disk or disks. Each peg disk includes a peg disk plate having a fastener bore and an array of pegs spaced about the bore.
