(Wed 27 October)
Dismounted plate from rod. Dismounted broken detectors from plate and placed back in box. Dismounted "dog leg" struts and replaced with fully un-threaded struts.
Mounted 3335-13 in bottom position.
Attempted to mount 3335-2 in top position: dog leg strut conflicts with jacking plate. Attempted to remove - bolt stuck in thread. Removed bolt with great difficulty after dousing the bolt and hole in ethanol. M3 vented bolt is completely bent. Thread in hole appears still good. Bad bolt? Mounted strut upside-down with new M3 vented bolt. No issues. Mounted 3335-2 on plate.
Mounted extension plates for strain relief. Note countersunk bolts.
Removed all flanges with wires from CARME. Lubricated rod with ethanol. Slid rod with 2x detectors on. FIxed with bolt in front and back. Plate securely mounted in CARME, but some degree on rotational freedom is left. |
