E. at least one rear pivot arm pivotally connected to said base, wherein said at least one rear pivot arm is held in place via friction force between said at least one rear pivot arm and said base,
F. at least one rear pivot arm bolt extending through said at least one rear pivot arm and said base,
G. at least one rear pivot arm nut threaded onto said at least one rear pivot arm bolt, wherein said at least one rear pivot arm nut is tightened loosely enough to allow pivoting motion between said at least one rear pivot arm and said base, but tight enough so that said at least one rear arm will remain in the proper position due to friction force,
