Dome Alignment

I spent an age trying to align my dome. Tried just about everything and then I spoke to BGE UK

In the nicest possible way they asked me to just check the instructions again

What I found, was that by simply following the instructions and putting the white spring lock back in place BEFORE fitting everything aligned perfectly

What I chump I felt since without putting this in place i had wasted hours and hours  trying to fit the thing properly

PS: Don't forget the red spacers as well !  See pictures

    After a while of Egging it just isn't important. I only worry if it will not close. All good, no worry Egging.
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).

    My Egg came pre-assembled and I do not have these luxury items.
    Where does one go to acquire such artifacts?
    The BGE website doesn't list these items as available for purchase.

    @Zmokin-Your dealer should have a stash of those parts as they did the assembly.  Ask and you should receive-free.
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
