I used a piece of plumbers tape wraped around both legs of the bail, cut so there was a gap of several inches between the ends. I then inserted a bolt through holes in each end of the tape and tighted it until the bail was sufficiently compressed to fit in the feet. Leave the screws holding the feet loose.

I must be missing something, because the force required to compress the tilt bail between the two rubber feet seems very excessive. To make the bail fit between to feet will require A LOT of force. Is this normal? Whenever I have to really force something when building, my first thought is that something is not right....although I really don't see how anything could be wrong here. I appreciate any feedback. Mike Hagey/NR7F _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
