Line cell up close before pushing in so screws are visible in tightening/adjustment slots. Put screws with collar in loose. Twist to get crosshairs aligned. Tighten screws. I took the plunge and did it yesterday. It wasn't too bad but I didn't realize that underneath the holding ring there was a slot instead of a screw hole to line up which made it a lot easier. I used a piece of large doll rod and marked it to the depth before I took the cell out. Took me about five or six attempts to get everything just right. Once I pushed the cell in too far and had to use my hook to pull it out and broke a cross hair that way and then broke crosshairs once in awhile by over tightening the screws. It takes just the right touch and a little time to figure it out. I think your .0015" wire may have been a better choice.

	I had one that I keep breaking the wire when I would tighten it and after a couple times notice it had a sharp edge from the lacquer they used to lock the screw with. I Took acetone to it and it tightened up with out cutting. How heavy does the cross hair look now and what power is it?

	I haven't installed it yet and the plan is it turn a shelf on the inside of the cell for it to sit on and as a stop while having a slight press fit and maybe a dab of adhesive. OD has not been specified as the part has not yet been ordered.
