Run the cord around the pin, press it into both slots, add a drop of CA each, then clip the end coming from the spool. Once you set it up, the cords will all be the same length, without fiddling with all the short bitsy pieces. But you do have to get the flanges out and back in. Yes, it's easy to get the butts off the flanges when they have the plates, but you still have to space, etc. Susan Kline </html>
