NOTE: All threaded ends of bolts protruding beyond nuts must be
cut off and/or peened to eliminate sharp edges. No more
than two threads should extend beyond face of nut.
All washers, “T” nuts, and other fastener hardware used on
round pipe or tubing must be hammered down to conform to the
curved underlying surface to eliminate catch points.
DO NOT tighten nuts more than hand-tight until entire
assembly is completed.

at each end:
4 – 3/8” x 1 ½” Hex Head tap bolt
4 – 3/8” Flat Washer
4 – 3/8” Round T nut
NOTE: Insert bolts with washer attached from post side into
T nut with threaded end inserted into backboard openings so

4 – 3/8” Flat Washers
NOTE: Tighten goal to backboard to cross bar holding font
hex nut and tightening on bolt end. This pulls the threaded
round T nut tight to backboard.
