[ ] Insert 1/2" tube (BI) into the 1/2" ID bushing and align screw holes (detail A).
[ ] Install the bushing and tube inside fiberglass resonator tube. Align all screw holes (B).
[ ] Slide radial-ring assembly over outside of resonator tube, position with screw holes aligned (C).
[ ] Install 1-1/2" screw at D and capture coil-lead lug at bottom. Secure with nut, tighten firmly.
[ ] Find braid strap and nip eye off one end, as shown at (E).
[ ] Using existing hardware on radial ring, attach braid strap at (F) and secure in place.
[ ] Install small worm clamp on 1/2" tube BI and use to secure nipped end of braid.
[ ] Install small worm clamp on top end of 1/2" tube BI, insert 3/8" tube BJ and secure (G).
[ ] Install small worm clamp on top end of 3/8" tube BJ, insert 1/4" rod BK and secure (H).
[ ] Slip 1/4" vinyl tip cap on end of 1/4" rod BK at ( I ). Stub sections will be set to length later on.

[ ] Find one 1-3/8"-OD radiator section BC and two 1-1/4"-OD splice tubes BB.
[ ] Measure off 6" on both splice tubes BB and mark (locates center).
[ ] On the 1-3/8" tube BC, insert a splice tube (BB} 6" inside each end and secure with worm clamps.
[ ] Find the second 1-3/8"-OD radiator section BC. Splice to first section BC and secure with a worm clamp.
[ ] Find the 1-1/4"-OD radiator section BD. Locate the un-slotted end, measure off 5-3/4" and mark.
[ ] Insert BD 5-3/4" into the free end of BC and secure in place with a worm clamp.
[ ] Find the 1-1/8" radiator section BE. Locate the un-slotted end, measure off 5-3/4" and mark.
[ ] Insert BE 5-3/4" into BD and secure with a worm clamp.
[ ] Adjust telescoped tubes BC/BD and BD/BE, as needed, to obtain a total length of 23' 6" (see FIG-6).
