and flat washer, up through the feed support arm from below
and into the threaded socket of the adapter block.
Note: There are two holes near the end of the feed support
arm. Be sure to insert the bolt through the hole that is furthest
from the end, as shown in

the opposite ends of the support rods are not the same. Be
sure to attach the longer-tipped ends to the reflector, as
