5) Insert two of the 5/16" x3-1/2"carriage bolts, from the front of the
race, through the race, and into the two innermost holes in the
beater leg. Use the carriage bolts with the hex nuts.
6) Attach the washers and nuts and tighten slightly. Leave the nuts
slightly loose until you have completely assembled the beater.
7) Repeat this procedure for the other side of the loom making sure
that the tapered side of the leg is facing away from the loom.
8) You will use the carriage bolts with the wing nuts to attach the
shuttle race to the reed support. Remove the wing nuts and
washers.

9) Push the carriage bolts through the race so that their heads sit flat
on the front of the beater race (don’t be afraid to use a hammer to
tap these bolts in place).
10) Now carefully slide the reed support onto these bolts so that the
lengthwise groove in it faces the groove in the race.
11) Leave enough room so that you can fit the reed between the race
and the reed support. Once the reed is in and centered, the
washers and wing nuts can be fitted onto the carriage bolts and
tightened.
12) Place your beater top over the reed so that the groove is facing
down and the cut outs at either end are facing toward the rear of
the loom.
