You really aren't giving us enough info there mate.
"Fit together nicely" doesn't explain what yiu are trying to do exactly. Sketching out what you are trying to accomplish wouod be rather beneficial.
I was just looking for general tips that could apply to wide arrangement of situations. This post was more to the get the conversation going in this community. I have a few ideas I have yet to test out and when they don't pan out I'll make a post.
From an engineering perspective, "fits" run the gamat from a tight press fit where you'll need heat or pressure to get the parts together, or a running and sliding fit which simply means the parts slide against each other loosely. It's such a wide range that's why it's hard to give an answer out.
