Default Misfit of Tom's Rear 6 Point?

Tried to put on Tom's 6 point rear supports, and not fitting!The directions are in Japanese but the pictures are clear and no errors of "sidedness" - the #3 supports did not fit at all and the #1 supports were a little to long (although a little bit of persuasion got them on).

Anybody else with experience? The other Tom's bits - front and rear LCB's went on GREAT.

Hmmm......That's weird, mine fit perfectly. All i can say is , do a search on the tom's pcs. and compare the pics. Maybe you have the # 1 and # 3 mixed up ?

Good Luck !

No, #1's were reasonable OK, the #3's needed a more shallow base angle. I sent the two "leftover" pieces to Steve after calling a Thomas that Carson referred me to. Hopefully this will get ironed out and I will report on it...
