(H) to fit. Slip support blocks over support block connectors (I). Slide the rail back into place and make
certain the rail is plumb.

1” self-drilling screws (J). Repeat the process securing lower bottom bracket (G) to the bottom post
using 1” self-drilling screws (J).
Note: Screw holes in brackets (F&G) are angled to make mounting the brackets
easier.
