Attach the black nylon beater stop to the outer side of each

1/4" slim lock nuts as indicated in figure 9.
Attach the beater side to the beater race by inserting a bar-
rel nut into the hole on the bottom of the beater race and
secure with a 1/4" x 2" machine screw through the rear
hole in the beater side. Insert a #8 x 1-1/2" screw through
the front hole of the beater side and screw into the pilot

Repeat to assemble the other beater side.
Attach the beater top to the sides. On each end of the beat-

top from the back. If you wish, you can put the reed in the
beater at this point. Set the beater top down on the sides,
turning the carriage bolts to fit the square part of the bolts
into the slots on the beater sides. Secure with washers and
