Joe Is that realy your head stock cut in peices? Where are the tabs that lock the headstock into the Alum. rail? I know over the years Legacy changes a lot of things, but...? It looks to me like your headstock only locks in to place with the T nuts.(inserts & screws) On my 1000 both the head and tail stock had projections that stuck out and locked the parts onto and in the Alum rail.
