Hey Upallnight-

I forgot to tell you that you are suppose to tighten the nuts on the block until the block doesn't move any more.

Gently test the block for rotation on the core, but be gentle. Most have said you need to tighten until the springs are fully compressed.

Be very careful when you get to that point. I used a 1/4" spin tight socket handle type nut driver. I noticed that when I felt the nut is no longer turning with ease I am probably too tight. Then I stopped. Yesterday I didn't stop soon enough.

Also note I did not use the nylon rods, but substituted with 8-32 round head machine screws. Some guys had stretching problems with the nylon rods, so I just didn't use them.
