[Healeys] Tie and Center Rods

[Michael Salter]

Always a challenge.

First ensure that the thread on the joist pin and in the nut are in good
condition and OF THE SAME TYPE!!!

Insert the pin through the arm and put a bunch of washers on the pin to
just leave a few threads showing.

Install and tighten the nut to lock the pin into the taper in the arm.

Remove the nut and washers then reinstall the nut with the single washer.

Easy peasy.
