I have purchased a quick adjust mechanism for the gooseneck from APS. Naturally, it came without instructions. It looks fairly simple to install, but here is where I had the problem:
When I removed the brass screw from the gooseneck, the rod of the self adjust mechanism would not pass thru the screw hole. It would only go half way down until it met the threads that were utilized by the brass screw. As the rod end also was threaded, I tried to screw it in, but found this difficult. I did not want to cross thread anything so I stopped and did not try to force things. Is anyone familiar with how this is supposed to work? If the rod can be completely inserted through the screw hole there is a plastic device that will screw on to the end of the rod allowing the lever on top to be turned 90 degrees and pinch the clamp together.
This is probably more simple than I am making it sound. Anyway, any info will be appreciated!
