Jim,
Install the first foot and tighten it, and then either:
1) Install the second foot using 'builder provided' long screws - after
things are lined up and tightened with the long screws, remove the long
ones one at a time and replace them with the proper screws.
2) Use a clamp to compress the bail - compress only enough to permit the
screws to be installed, the bail must remain 'springy' or it will be
loose and rattle.
I use both methods - the clamp head takes a bit of 'figuring' so you can
tighten the screws with the clamp attached, but you can combine both
methods and make things easier.

Hello All,
Progress temporarily halted by (who would ever guess)
a tilt bail. Somehow I've gone from great design and
instructions to something that reminds me of putting
toys together at Xmas Eve. Is this for real? Can
anyone tell me the secret. How many people does it
take to pull on the bail while dropping in the screws?
Not sure a cave man can do it.
Jim
