Thanks, Bill. Mine is the Allen model, so a bit different than the Harken, but I just spent some time watching another guy do his Allen on YouTube and I think mine is now done right!
shows at the end that you should install it alongside the other (already in place) vang key. Why the heck would anyone need two of these alongside each other when you can only use one?
There is a class rule that explicitly allows two vang keys. I believe it's a relic from the straight-key-only era, as the straight version is fundamentally more prone to breaking due to not being designed for the current key fitting.
Does anyone know of a bent key having ever broken?

We did a video on calibrating / setting some reference marks on your vang awhile back that you might like. It shows you how to get a decent max ease setting, maximize the range out of the system, and setup some basic upwind reference points. The music is annoying so you may want to use subtitles or PM us and will send you the version without music!
