Rob,

The idea is to keep the brackets squared and aligned whilst insta= lling=20 the pivots on the tank and the receivers on the canopy. Step 92-= 94,=20 using a 2x4 is so crude.. There is a hole in each bracket (= there=20 was in mine) that would allow a long threaded rod to secure a piece of= 3/4"=20 (or so) Al tubing, cut at a length (15 3/4" ?) to correctly keep = those=20 brackets separated and square because you used a tube cutter. Pl= ace=20 the tube betwixt the brackets. Thus a jig, so to speak= ,=20 used to make sure everything will allow the canopy to be squarely raised an= d=20 lowered plus ensure the capturing of each end of the brackets will be prope= rly=20 located.

Once you are all done, the "brace" can be removed.

Bummer, my pics are not handy.
