(G) into each adapter rail. Space the T-bolts (G) so they
align with the holes on the base on the upright assembly
(A). Place support base insert (J or K) in between the
upright assembly and the rail. Use T-bolts (H) if installing
on a ush mount rail.
Reinstall the rail end plugs. Install washers (E) and cap nuts
