The “Hand-rail Mount Installation Kit” configuration of T-track assembly is shown above.  The top of the 
assembly is on the right.  A hinged top-slide secures the top of the assembly to the horizontal hand rail.  
A swivel hinge is used to secure the bottom of the assembly close to the aft edge of the swim step.  
There is a rubber spacer that fits underneath the swivel part of this hinge.  Be careful not to drop this 
spacer into the water when installing the hinge!  It is required for this hinge to function properly.
