Thanks everyone! Since I'm a newbie... can you now help teach me if there's a way to mark the issue resolved? I understand that it might be helpful to someone else to read about further down the road, but you've helped me figure it out, and I don't need any more responses. I know I can unfollow the topic, but I don't want to waste anyone else's time on writing up more responses

Skutt Lid Brace Placement

@Hulk Yes, thank you! That's exactly what I was hoping for. So - it attaches just forward of the bend/angle, and your photo shows the arm dropped straight down, as @neilestrick said. Also, Neil, knowing that there's a lot of leeway helps, too! I was worried there wouldn't be much wiggle room, and that then I'd be putting un-due strain on the brace and thereby bricks if I didn't get it in just the right place. Thank you both for your time! This really helps me feel more confident in reattaching it.

@neilestrick Both the links you included show the lid brace upgrade, which I do not have, so the images don't really help me. Thanks, though, for the descriptor of the arm hanging straight down, and 90 degrees from the center of the hinge. Would still love to see images of the older-style brace if someone has it on their own kiln!

I have a 10 sided Skutt kiln, a KM-1027-3, which I'm finding is a bit of an "old" kiln, in my research. I had to replace the lid band recently, and that all went just fine, but I'm running into an issue with re-attaching the Lid Brace. This is the only part I didn't photograph before disassembling everything, and I can't seem to find pictures online, since it's an older model. Now I'm not sure where along the lid I should re-attach the part that the brace arm is connected to. I can take my best guess, but I'd rather ask a few other people with the same kiln! Can someone add a photo of their own lid brace or describe to me where I should screw this in? My guess is just above and to the left of the prop piece and guard, but how far? Again, I'd rather not guess and use someone else's photo as a guide! Thanks for your help!
