NOTE: The cradle clamp brackets (D) are
ALWAYS to be placed in the outer position in
the cradle (C), and the end is to be flush with
the face of the housing cover (E).
Position the rails so that the end caps (T)
stick out past the cradles by ¼". Tighten the
screws (M) in the cradle clamp brackets (D).
19. At the CENTER columns, loosely
attach (2) Cradle Clamp Brackets
(D) to each cradle cavity (GG/HH)
with (4) 1/4-20 x
machine screws (M) per cavity.
NOTE INTENTIONAL GAP: Rail End is
