giffin grip problem solved

Thanks all for the helpful hints with the Giffin grip!
The problem was that I was using the wrong sliders! I have no idea what the
sliders with the butterfly screws on top are for, but they just wouldn't
slide. I suspect they are for another unit, or?????
When I finally found the instruction info, I noticed that the picture of
the sliders was different than what I had in there! So I went digging some
more and found two other sets of sliders. Once I got the original ones in
there in everything was fine. DUH! LOL
Now I've had this Giffen grip for around 20 years or from whenever it first
hit the market (I won it at a workshop); but the obvious totally eluded me!
In any case, I now have a lot of helpful hints for the future! :-)
Thanks all!

Warmest regards,
June

Hi June,

Those sliders are for holding excentric ware on the grip - slide the
holders in till they touch a centered piece and tighten the wing nuts.
