It's a pretty straightforward. Just like a regular uni-butt, you want to align the butt ferrule so that the seat is properly aligned when the pieces are joined.

In your case, the butt is pinned so that if the seat is aligned, the butt gimbal will also then be aligned.

Hi Owen, I hope I don't step on anyone's toes but Kevin Knox has a video on YouTube showing how to install a unibutt titled "ANGLERS ENVY UNIBUTT ATTACHMENT". Hope this helps!

Kevin, thanks for posting your videos on Youtube. They have helped a lot, keep them coming!

Kevin really wanted to be a movie star. When YouTube was created he got his dream.
