Sidney, First Assembly

This morning I put the rack on the bed.  Cleaned out the pin holes with a round file and put anti seize on the pins.  Cleaned the bolt in the ultra sonic cleaner.  Chased the threads on the bolt and the holes in the bed.  Anti seize on the bolts.

One or both of the racks are bent slightly from the prying needed to remove them from the bed.  But the bolts pull them flat.

Previously I assembled the carriage but it will have to be disassembled to move it onto the bed.  And there will be lots trial fits to get the shims just right.
