[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 431409, member: 3828"] The problem that I ran into was due to trying to use the shoulder screw provided in the AVCC kit, in the same orientation as the much referenced [URL="https://www.fjr1300.info/howto/audiovox.html"]install document[/URL], as can be seen in this picture: [IMG]https://www.fjr1300.info/howto/images/image027.jpg[/IMG] I actually scrounged up all the hardware I needed in my junk hardware collection. I ended up using a small button-head Allen screw and three nuts to secure the chain end to the tang. I initially put a small washer under the head of the screw but even that caused rubbing on the cable, so no washers, and loctite'd the bajeebers out of it. For anyone following along, I found it is actually a bit easier to install the button head screw and nuts vs. the provided shoulder screw as I could put the screw on a long Allen wrench (I used an Xcelite allen driver) and insert it through the hole then hold the nut in a pair of [S]roach clips[/S] hemostats and spin the screw to thread it on. Oh, one more tip for this part. If you can't convince Ionbeam's wife to come and hold the throttle open while you work on the attachment, just wrap a tie wrap around the grip and brake lever. Works like a charm... [/QUOTE]
