Sorry, no tips, but I envy you.

Where did you get it from, man? I looked for it on Carson's website and it's no longer available.

Hey guys! Just finished with the install, everything went smooth. I used 5 screws plus the epoxy provided with the kit. So everything should hold pretty well. Heres some pics


Enough tape?

Nah...
