§ 402. Distinctive number...not higher than forty-eight inches and not lower than twelve inches from the ground; ...
So I says to myself, "Self, can you get it any higher?". I tried this, and I tried that, and got more and more frustrated at no apparent answer without cutting off all the tabs sticking out of it. Not that what I had didn't work (no problems yet ) but now I had myself on a mission to get it higher. Then it hit me- WHACK- I could have had a V8 !

Seriously, turn the damn thing upside down. So now we're at 8 inches off the ground. Hey, it improved. Either way works with the original bracket pieces- take your pick. Here's the "new" way- call it "plan B"...
