Step 4 - Installing the tube Sockets

Post by Billy Batz » Fri Apr 25, 2008 11:58 am

This is basically identical to the 100W kit instructions.

I like to use a nut driver to tighten the small nuts to the #6 bolts instead of using a flathead screwdriver to screw the bolts into the nut because its easier and you wont strip the bolts.

For the ground lugs that need to be installed on the Power Tube sockets, I bend them with my thumb while holding them with pliers beforehand as shown in the photos below...
