The K3 bail is 6 3/8 inches between the mounting feet (not the centers), and the K2 bail is not quite 5 inches. So they are not interchangeable - the length is different. Now, if one wanted to drill new holes in the K3 bottom cover, I guess the K2 bail could be made to fit - but I would not want to do that to mine. I have a tablesaw and the ability to make a wedge of wood most any height I want - so determine what height you want and find a friend who has a woodworking shop - sand the wedge block and finish it - put nonslip material on the top and bottom and you are done.
Caution: cutting a wedge block on a tablesaw is not a trivial exercise, and can be a dangerous operation - don't try it if you are not experienced at using the proper safety procedures. Do not try to cut a small block without appropriate guides and pushsticks (which most do not have available). Cut a long piece and then trim it to length after the wedge is shaped. Be safe and retain all your fingers. 73, Don W3FPR ab2tc wrote: > I totally agree. I don't think we have gotten a definitive answer as to > whether the K2 bail will fit on the K3.
