To take a lead from my former ME associates back
at Kodak's CAD group - I think the Elecraft K2
bail, as designed, has too much K and is a tad
too long. Decreasing length, ever so little in
a vise - makes the whole job and final installation
work nicely. I think the idea of temporarily
decreasing width with a c-clamp and using LONG
screws, is wrong IMHO, as it places a permanent
spring force on the lower cabinet cover meterial
- which could cause whoknowswhat. I can't
imagine operating the bail, in that compression
configuration.
Bench vise adjustment - takes some mechanical
skill, but it works better after process
is done. BAIL still operates perfectly.
Not rocket science ..... I suspect I decreased
bail's width, at ears, by like 1/4" (recall from
memory)
