This is the halfway point between the two locking positions. (See figure 2) 3. Slide the mounting template over the lever, make sure that the large diameter hole in the template slides over the single roller on the tower. Use a 3/16 diameter drill bit and drill 4 holes in the tower. (See figure 2) 4.
