Good advice all around.....

I am, however, convinced that someday, some other manufacturer is going to improve on this product if for no other reason that the tolerances shouldn't vary as much as they do from unit to unit, and in this day and age, there probably is a better way.

Some people still use a method whereas they enlarge the bell's dowel pin holes, locate the bell, and then use washers that are then tacked and welded onto the bell. It works, but beware...it also negates the SFI certification.

Use the offset dowels, and, as my dad used to say..."Next time, when in doubt, read the directions"..
