In the forward crossmember where the gib cleats are, inside the rail channel, there are two screws that prevent the gib cleats/carts to go any further inboard than half way ( one screw on each side half way into the channel ) Is this a "homemade-mod" ? Is there a special part that goes in there ? These screws seem improperly mounted, just screwed into the beam.
Anticipated thanks !!!

There should be a little plastic piece that fits into your jib track with one screw through the center and into the cross bar.

THANKS SURF CITY !!!! The bar on my H16 is different from the one on the picture, mine has the channel embeded in the bar. I will find a piece of hard plastic or teflon and shape it and install that instead of the odd looking screws it has now. THANKS AGAIN !!!!!

Copy. That's a Getaway fwd x bar, same style as the older 16.

Can't find a pic, but this might help. There should be a little plastic cylinder with a single screw through it and threaded into the x bar used as a stop.
