There's a set screw on the left end that is supposed to dig into the
surface of the bar and keep it from moving.  It digs in, all right,
but cuts a groove.  On mine, I had to flip the bar and start fresh on
the other side, the groove was so long, I couldn't get the adjustment
bolt tightened enough to keep from shimmying, it bottomed out.  Rather
poor design, I thought.
