Morph tube and fit attached brackets and connectors

Hi All,

 

i have a Shell-model including a bended pipe and attached along the pipe are some brackets and smaller parts, which are connected to the pipe via seam-connectors.  

 

Is it possible to scale the tube to a bigger or smaller diameter and simultaneously move the connectors and the nodes of the brackets close to the pipe (so that they move accordingly to the pipe's surface in radial direction)?? I tried morphing-> map to geometry, but can't figure out a way to achieve this. One restriction is, that the geometry of each bracket remains at the same Location, only the nodes/elements close to the seam connectors are allowed to move.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated!!
