Europa-List: Rogue Hole in FL16

The hole n the square end are supposed to be to suit the brackets from the c
ross tube. So, it's a rogue hole, and if it came from Europa, as I imagine i
t must of as a fast build kit, with the bearing possibly pre installed as we
ll, get a new one. I don't think you can use it due to the proximity of the w
rong hole, compromising the bracket. 
I undid my temporary setup and now will use some sort of nylon to avoid the f
riction scored marks in my setup. 
Hope this he's.
Regards
Tony Renshaw
