I tried to attache Luddy 60's BD tom rail mount to 70's double tom mount L arm rod(probably 9.5mm), while it is really hard to pass a knurled L rod through the hole. The L rod is big for the hole.
In my understanding, the L arm rod size is same(9.5mm) for 60's and 70's. But, am I wrong and do I miss something??? I appreciate your help.

The 60's "L" arms are bigger than the 70's..Mikey
Thanks Mikey!
60's one is bigger than 70's?
I attached the pics.
60's tom rail mount +70's L arm rod.
I tried to attache the L rod to the opposite right side compared with left side position. Of course, I loose the nut. Well, it is tough to push into. :confused:

You need a knurled 60's L-arm. You have a later, fluted model L-arm.
You might try to wedge a screwdriver in the receiving slot for the L-arm and then carefully pry it up to open the space and then slide the L-arm in that way (loosen the nut, first, obviously). It's probably better to have a tight fight than for it to be too loose. But you really just need the correct part because the later L-arm that you have was designed to go with a different receiver design.
I got a knurled 60's L arm, but it is also tight to push into.
Hmmmm

Mind Blowi Instead I posted a new post, I overwrote my previous post.
Sorry...
Get a screwdriver and pry the space open while simultaneously sliding in the L-arm. Believe me, it's preferable to have a tight fit and once the drum is attached it will be necessary to have a tight fit.

Thanks for the input!
Yes, a tight fit is much better than a looseness.
I am going to try a screwdriver method.
