It's important to ensure that the bars align, I usually set the height of these first (at 12mm above railtop) , then an just the hook, by bending gently half way along, so that the inside of the hook aligns with the bar. Also ensure that the bar is aligned with the buffer face to avoid buffer locking when propelling. I'm trying to develop a s&w coupling that will fit a nem pocket!
