Brian, Here's what I do, and it only takes a moment ... 1. Mount one foot. 2. Mount the second foot with the front screw. Keep it loose so you can rotate the foot around. 3. Get a strap clamp (Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware for holding odd-shaped wood pieces while gluing.) 4. Put the strap around the bail and ratchet it tighter and tighter. 5. When the bail is compressed enough, swing the loose foot in place. 6. Insert that last screw and tighten all screws. 7. Release the clamp.
