Title: spacebar help
Post by: grave00 on Mon, 26 August 2013, 12:15:44

So i have Feng's aluminum spacebar to put on my Filco.  I'm having a heck of a time reassembling.  Every time I come close I can tell the stabilizes clips have come out and it's wobbling.  I wonder if there is a clear video or some technique help.  I've removed the keys around it obviously.  I've done it before but this is frustrating.  I gave up after an hour.

I'm putting the clips in, then sliding one side over the stabilizer.  I have a hard time getting the other end to hold still to snap it in place and if I get that far, it seems to come loose as I try to get it onto the cherry.

thanks

Try squeezing the metal pieces of the stem closer together for a tighter fit.

Or put a piece of plastic or teflon over the stem before you put the stabiliser thingy in.
