I will be reinstalling the newly painted draft tube before too long and would like some suggestions on installing it without scratching up the fine paint job. I was planning on using a rubber mallet and some TLC. I couldn't find any info. in the search option. Any other or new suggestions? Thanks, Jeff. | | |

A piece of wood on top & a little tap ought to do it. Then put the bolt in the bracket.
