Railkit issue/dilemma

[fairladyZ]

So I purchased 2 short rail kits and 2 hanging kits to hang 3 radion pro's length wise across a 6' tank.

But for the life of me I cannot get a rail system with an endcap to thread into the eyelet of the radion WITH the hanging kit eyelet. If i remove the hanging kit eyelet I can get the provided bolts to catch a couple threads but as soon as i try to add the eyelet there is not enough thread. The only way I can do this is if i add the eyelet to the back end cap hole that you use a nut on instead of threading into the radion.

Here is a photo of the only way i can get the eyelets on. Very frustrated as this is NOT how your rail configuration shows it should be.

well if you scroll down that link to the bottom of the third page that is the configuration i'm trying to do. And on that illustration it shows the hanging kit being attached to each side of the center radion. I'm unable to do that because the bolts are to short.

Yep I had the same issue, I had to purchase longer bolts from the local hardware store. Ecotech really should address the issue....Especially what they charge for the kits.

FairladyZ,

Perhaps it is the threads on the Radion itself? I would recommend emailing me directly for further troubleshooting. Service@ecotechmarine.com
