thank you 'sid !! Exactly what I was looking for.

You are correct as far as alignment with the slots for mounting on the JS. The slots for mounting on the frame are perpendicular so the JS can be adjusted both directions. The pic shows slots on the frame plate (only left side is shown but right side is same.)
