I'm struggling to fit my new Beamax M series tab tensioned screen. It's going inside a pelmet that my previous Greywolf was in so it's not as accessable as a striaght ceiling mount job. I'm using the supplied brackets that fit on the top of the case (mildy 'U' shaped, flat on each end). The idea is that you fix the bracket to the ceiling first, then the matching fitting on the case has a nut and washer. You are supposed to slot the nut & washer onto the upside of the ceiling bracket and then pull the screen forwards (the bracket has an L shaped slot). The difficulty is that you have to get all three brackets lined up for this to work (plus the washer tends to drop down under the bracket on the opposite side of the bracket to the nut ) and it's nigh on impossible with just two people due to the weight of this large screen.
Anyone else managed to do this and if so have you any tips (apart from getting extra people to help which is the next plan)? I'm itching to get this screen up to see what it's like and I've taken my old one down so I can't use my PJ until this is sorted.
I'll taken some photos tonight which might explain what I'm up against, better than words alone.
