the 5.5" screws holding the bowtie to the basket aren't long enough when using the spacer. Anyone else have this problem?.

I didn't have any kind of problems. I suggest you check the installation again, step by step. If you still has the problem then get longer screws or return the antenna for exchange.

I "drilled" out one of the holes with a screwdriver. The metal is very weak, and you can force the hole to be big enough to accept the spacer.

The screws that came with my db4e also seemed too short. After calling the factory, I found out that some of these units had left the factory with a manufacturing defect. If you call Antennas Direct, they will either ship you a new reflector (the wire mesh part), or you can drill it out yourself, so the sleeve will slide down the bolt into the reflector pole. I drilled mine out myself. Call them for the information you need at 1-877-825-5572, and they will help you.

I had no problems with mine. If your bolts are too short by only a small bit, you might try shortening the spacers with a razor saw. I don't think shortening them a half inch or so would hurt anything at all. Or take one of the bolts to the hardware store and get some longer ones. Once you get it together you will like this antenna. Mine is just hanging on the inside of a window and I am getting 33 crisp, clear channels. Good luck!

You may have to adjust the length of the chain. It sounds like you are flapper is not opening enough when you push on the lever.

The door jig worker really well for me, so you must be having an issue that I did not encounter. The holes on my jig are spaced at 1/4" intervals (assuming we're referring to the same holes).

Mine fit snug without a problem. Maybe you can try to put tape around the part that goes in the hole so it can fit tighter.

I use locking nylon nuts so they dont back out, https://copy.com/7fkc1IhsPCX9h98q no spacer, but i should have put a spacer in there to keep it level.

I had the same problem. To solve it, I put Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 on the six large bolts on the main, center post. You also need to shim the rotating foot treadles where they connect to the arm shafts. I used washers to make sure there was no left-right play where the arm shafts connect to the foot treadles.

Sort of, I had to make some spacer blocks. Length and hole alignment was good just too wide...I made some spacer from some AL pipe I had.

Wow, I did not have that happen to me. Mine went together beautifully and looks great. I would suggest Lowes or Home Depot or a similar place. I suggest bringing the frame piece in need of the bolts to ensure a proper fit.

Hi Katie! My husband had the same issue and tried several screwdrivers to screw them in as much as they would go, but he could only get them to screw about half way in. While not ideal, the top part felt very sturdy even with half of the screw in each pole. He covered those screws with the small, circular foam piece for that section and then put the netting over top of that, and it has held up very well to my kids crazy bouncing. I wish the screw holes were a bit bigger so that those screws actually could fit into them. We were afraid to try and drill bigger holes for fear then they would be too wide and the screws would not hold at all. If you do find a good solution, please share!! =)

Hi there - there is a knack to it. I tilt the basket slightly and make sure the top lines up with the raised part on the mower. And then it just sits in place. I know it is frustrating. I will try to take some pictures and upload.

I have high rings as well and have had no problem. I highly doubt that the height of your rings is the problem.

You have to measure a certain distance & use spacers provided. I would contact company & ask them to email. Wish you luck!

My twine holder was delivered with the post and base separated and would not stay together - I could see there was some glue on the post - I contacted Amazon and asked if I should attempt to fix the item or return it - Amazon customer service said the twine holder was broken and sent me a refund - Good luck -

I thought mine was faulty as well. But I was using the wrong bolt for the wrong hole. Bolt should not go all the way through, also it should not stop at flat(not sure the technical term) space -part without the thread. That part should go into the hole about 3mm. Watch this video and you will see what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP_Wh_-RXzUNow I have nearly zero wobble, I think i will put some "black RTV" soon around the hitch, that should make it even more secure.

had the same problem with mine-there were some spacers on the original shaft and made a few using reinforced hose that was lying around the garage. has worked so far.

make sure the shaft is inserted into the bottom bushing, when mine arrived it was dislodged somehow. Also, you will have to string some stiff wire on the bottom to keep your frames from falling through. I slung out about 100lbs of honey with no problems after I corrected these issues. Good luck

Perhaps you don't have a tight fit with the tubing you have. I haven't had any problems with mine. Good luck, I hope it works out for you.
