[Fot] [6pack] A-Type O/D Issue

[Joe Alexander]

I remember standing unit on the tail end in a five gallon plastic bucket for
assembly.

It stabilized the unit quite nicely.

I don't remember having a difficult time making spline alignment, but I was
either lucky or the bucket made a difference.

at http://www.vtr.org/maintain-index.shtml.  We stand it up on the tail end so
the splines will not move relative to each other.  Another tip not in the
article is to first do it without springs to get the splines lined up.  Then
do it with the springs, making sure they are all in the right places.  It is
still difficult.  Maybe someone else has a better way, but this has worked for
us (eventually).  Many adapter plates have been broken, so be careful.
