Vid - thanks again for the guides.

But it really helps to have a newbie test it for you. I will be that clueless newbie. I think a step is missing. You don't explicitly say when to put the ring in place, and the picture shows the body in place before the ring. The next picture sneaks the ring in to position.

Next are the lamp leads. It does not say when to tackle these guys, but it seems like it should happen before the bracket is in place, so there is more room to work. So that is what I did.

Any more comments about stapling? I could not get my hand-held stapler to work, there is not enough access. I see air-powered staplers (long nose!) for about $75 on eBay. Any other suggestions? What is the purpose - keeping the wires from shorting out, or is it super important to have the staples in place to keep the lamp socket from moving around?

Thanks again! This week I am *testing* your pops and flippers guides, my first time for both.
