[Elecraft] K2: Tilt Bail Installation Question

[Douglas Westover]

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.

Subject: [Elecraft] K2: Tilt Bail Installation Question


Hello All,

I'm currently building my K2, and have come to the tilt bail installation
part. 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.
