Place a screw through the washer and inside one of
the tube holes.
5.
From the inside of the tube, place a second washer
onto the screw and thread one of the hex head nuts
half way onto the screw (See Figure 6).
6.
Thread the screw into the mirror cell hole. Only
thread the first two screws into the mirror cell about
two turns allowing enough play to align the third
screw.
7.
Manually line up the last mirror cell hole with the
tube hole and thread the screw into the mirror cell.
Don’t tighten completely until all three screws are
threaded into the mirror cell. Tighten screws
sequentially, for balance.
8.
After all three screws are in place, tighen the hex nut against the inner wall of the tube locking the mirror cell in
place (See Figure 7).
