Since you have a 355 i assume you know what you're doing with the hardware. Please post a few pictures, this might help evaluate the real problem and avoid a bunch of assumptions!

Did you tighten up the set screws on the flat part of the spindle? look at one and find the flat spot, line it up in the hole on the back of the riser and screw it down.

Looks like you need a pair of set screws to fasten the bumpers rods from under the riser. Does Danny not include them?

Yep, they come in a small bag that is stapled shut. As a temporary measure you can use the screws that hold the quiver bracket on to the rail.

Its also possible with the info you gave so far that your set screw holes are too long making the screws barely touch and hold the reds on.In any case when you get it sorted out be sure and put a drop of blue loc tite on em and leave em over nite like that.I tried it without and after a few shots they wobble out.

The man has not come back on here yet. :shock: Logic would say if he did not use the set screws they would just fall out lol So I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here he used em but something else must be wrong :mrgreen:
