Default Reinstalling ski slope

Putting it back in. Took decent pictures of wiring and connectors and am finding most of what I need.

can someone tell me what the top screw is supposed to screw into? I was expecting some threads. See picture.

Thank you!

Right, but you need to have one of those clip-on sheet metal screw plates, I call them "tinnerman" nuts, but I think just clip-on nut is the general term. I think for a #8 oval head c'sunk screw. Usually available in specialty fasteners at a hardware store.

yes, a tinnerman clip-nut that slides over the stationary leg / bracket.
If missing, they have them at ACE Hardware or HomeDepot in the Specialty hardware aisle.
