Your picture is really looking good!

The yoke sits in a half tube that has a slot. A thumbscrew goes through the slot to allow you to rotate the yoke. The nut that the thumbscrew goes into can slide along the length of the yoke. Once in position you're supposed to tighten the thumbscrew. If you don't it doesn't stay in position. The problem is that when I tighten the thumbscrew the front of the yoke is too low and the rear is just a tad too high.



The half tube in the early sets had slots to allow you to adjust it's position. In later production they just spot welded it into place. I guess the replacement yoke doesn't match the physical shape of the original yokes well enough. The slots are still there. I could drill out the spot welds and add the adjustment, but I rather just shim the yoke between it and the half tube.
