How can I attach this to narrow spindles? My wide banister post is surrounded by narrow spindles, and I can't attach the brackets to the banister.

I made a modification when in installing the one I purchased. Got a round wooden pole from Home depot , and placed it in front of the spindles worked out fine.

I tried to do the same thing. Even though it is a semicircle like my other one, they were slightly different sizes. I able to make it fit but had to use a lot of pressure. You might want to try a local place so you can quickly return and try another if need be.

I had the same problem, but after a few trys I stretched it full out and it worked, then I had a problem hooking it to the rails as they were wider, I found if you tip the plastic to the outside it will jiggle in place. I have enjoyed using them.

I should just say, "I don't know", but I'll try to help you as much as my old brain can. The tracks, from where I can see, don't appear to be welded, are screwed to the bottom of the basket. However, unless you change the manner of attachment of the rails to the cabinet floor, you could not move the rails to be any wider because the feet that get screwed into the bottom of the cabinet are already as wide as the basket. I guess you could try if you have extra width under the basket, but I would not mess with it because it's rated to hold 200lbs., must be very sturdily built to hold that much weight. I'm sorry I cannot give you better info, but I did not inspect or install my drawers myself.

I believe the gate adapter needs a flat surface on the banister for it to be attached securely. Otherwise, it will most likely just end up twisting around out of place. Most wrought iron railings I see have skinny round banisters but if yours is different and you can find flat parts (even thin ones) then it might work for you.

It is a little tricky. It is most easily performed with the pole completely collapsed. I screw the base on from the bottom, holding the pole above with the other hand. Getting the threads to match up may take several attempts. I can usually get it on no problem, although there have been a few occasions where i timed out on my frustration limit and had to come back to it O.o My girlfriend has much difficulty attaching it. As for mine, there is no error in manufacture, rather, just a tricky connection. Assuming your threads have been properly machined, you should be able to get it with some practice.

You need to buy a longer BB to account for it. I'm going through the same issue. What I haven't seen a comment on is how this affects the non-drive side. Would you notice it when pedaling, especally if you "clip-in". This chart gives you the symetrical equivalent - http://sheldonbrown.com/bbsize.html . My 3T spindle would need a 130 symetrical BB.

I had a large coupler too and it doesn't fit. I don't think you can fit it, unless you find an "extra large" coupler

Just looked: there are small hexagonal nuts on each side (not bolts), and they are inset so that you'd need a tiny socket head to turn them. I'd say they're screwed onto a long pin with a little thread at each end. However, it is possible that the thread goes the whole length of the pin, in which case you'd need to saw a length off in order to make the unit more narrow. Oh, and the nuts are around 5/16 " diameter.

The part that goes around the banister is able to be sized to your banister. It is two separate pieces so you can make it as tight or as loose as needed.

I had the same problem until I realized I had not 'threaded' it correctly under the rail. Check it against the diagram (I know it's not easy to see) but I would bet your problem is there. Good luck.

That's a mighty wide seat post. Most are thinner. Remove nut from the tightening screw. Must remove seat post from the frame and slip it up from the bottom. May need to remove the rubber washer/spacer. Apply nut back into the nut-sized depression. Tighten. You may have a very nice bike...and heavy-duty also with a frame that big. Good luck. I specialize in old Schwinns and Raleighs. Have fun!

Line the top part of the black bracket up to the silver bar on the basket so it just sits in place, you may need to move it on a slight angle for it to line up. Once lined up and just sitting there push it downwards causing the red locking section to grab onto it snapping it in place. After a few practices it works easily and well. Enjoy!:)

They recommend brackets by SanuD or OmniMount. Two threaded holes in back and one on the bottom. Good luck!

The best solution is to just give up and return them! These things do not work. I was so frustrated by the time I finally gave up. If you actually get the three pieces to fit together and only concerned with the rod sliding in the brackets, one thing to try is to use one loop of the curtain on the other side of the bracket and that could help hold it in place.

Cordellia B, did your put back the medal cap over the bracket, and one inside the holder after and insert the coil spring and after the flat washer then the nut. I'm thinking that you might have forgotten to insert the spring. Hope this helps you out.

Hi, I made a phone call to the Westin company. They were very helpful, and do not forget the brackets. You also need the right brackets or nothing will fit. Good Luck
