Picture is worth a thousand words..


Yea like Tat, looks like the frame was too clever a design, impractically style over function.

KS wont go over center to stay up because the base is at that silly angle..
someone designed in one place, and another country just followed as the order read .

the wedge , need a pair, would get the KS back to what it may have been if they
had a brain in their head ..

machine shop project : 2 wedge shaped plates .
one sandwiched on each side of that plate,
so top and bottom of both plates is horizontal to the ground,
then the bolt will go thru the both of them
and be straight into the KS..
which will have a horizontal mount then..

thick stock rectangular sawn across at the diagonal.
matching the angle of that plate in relation to the horizon.

maybe hardwood would do..
