Here is what it looked like...in the first image below you can see where I jammed the square shaped spacer down around the square part of the quill. Then I had to repeat that until I finally got it tight. I greased it well also. Hope this helps. I wrapped the .016" brass around a 1/2 inch socket piece to form it.
