8. Remove the parts of the fixed mount installation jig from

the cardstock sheet (P/N 12705) with a sharp hobby knife.

9. Assemble the three frame pieces by inserting the tabs

into the slots. Do not glue yet.

10. Install both cardstock rings on the end of the assem-

bled frame that has tabs. Apply wood glue to the joints

and let the installation jig dry completely.

11. Once both the fixed mount and the installation jig are

completely dry, ensure that there are no glue blobs or pro-

trusions that may impair the motion of removable mounts.

Dried blobs can generally be removed by snapping them

off with the tip of a hobby knife. To prepare the fixed

mount for installation, latch the jig into it by aligning the

tabs, inserting, and rotating clockwise into place.

12. Do a trial fit of the fixed mount in the aft end of the

marked tube. If there are any glue blobs or misalignments

that make insertion difficult, sand the outer surface of the

mount until it can be slid into the tube smoothly.

13. Remove the mount and jig, then use a dowel to apply a

bead of wood glue approximately 1/8" (3mm) wide to the

interior of the tube beginning 3-1/4" (83mm) from the aft

end.

14. Slide the fixed mount and jig into the tube and rotate

the mount into the glue (to distribute it over as much sur-

face as possible) pushing all the way until the jig stops at

the edge of the tube. This will place the fixed mount at the

correct depth and ensure correct alignment.

15. Check from the front side of the tube (the open end)

that no glue has overflowed onto the installation jig. Clean

any drips with a dowel. Allow the mount to dry for several

minutes before removing the installation jig. To remove

the jig, rotate it counterclockwise until the tabs on the jig

line up with the openings on the fixed mount and pull the

jig out. The fixed mount is now installed. Allow it to dry

completely before removable mounts are inserted.
