Oh, yes, I remember. That blasted bail! We can buy pre-wound toroids - someone needs to sell a pre-mounted bail!
I think I put my bail in a vise and tried to squeeze it down a bit. I also used some of the longer screws to get things started then swapped them out once it was together. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Bayern IMO, the bail is the most difficult piece of the assembly. I used longer screws while assembling the thing and then changed them out, carefully!, one at a time to screws of the correct length. There were some great discussions on the forum a few years ago about the tilt bail. Lots of different ideas about how to get the blasted thing installed. A check of the archives might give you some ideas ... certainly it will give you a few laughs, and you won't feel like the only cave-man in the forum.
