Read the email, put on the sunglasses and Burks, go out and lift the hatch(es), take a look, scratch the head, come back in and read again, go back out... come back, reply.

I should just take a bunch of pics of the thing from every angle and keep 'em on my hard drive.

Anyway, if I'm reading you right, the 'bottom pivot point' on the right is the mount for the adjustment bracket/mount that passes underneath the compressor- I don't think you'd have to mess with that part of it. On mine you loosen the two top right bolts and the two left bolts and adjust with the long vertical bolt on the left.

At least I think so.

Good luck, Robert
