G36c Hop up problems

[Ogre]

So I'm working on a friends Echo1 MTC trying to flat hop it and I'm having a bit of trouble. For those unfamiliar with flat hop its pretty much a simpler version of R-Hop with a drop In install.

The particular problem I am facing is installing the nub. Every time I try to install the nub In the slot it goes Into before putting the arm back in place is that the nub doesn't want to stay straight. Instead of the flat part of the nub being flush with the bucking, it goes off on an angle and then I can't put the hop up arm over the rounded part.

Is there any tips or tricks I could use to get this in straight other day to glue it to the arm and place it in that way?

The "arm" should be rounded, which will straighten out the nub as it sits on top and the wheel slides over it. So going in at an angle shouldn't be a problem. At least it isn't on my G36c. You could always glue the nub to the arm and that would ensure that it was straight.

I recently installed a flat hop on my g36, and it's not an easy task.
What I found to work best was holding and reassembling everything upside down so gravity can do its thang.

Also, I removed the rounded part of the arm and went for a "flat" arm. This way it applies level pressure.

Puma, there are a few different types of flat hop nubs. There the rectangular block of a rubbery material, then there is the nub, that has a flat bottom, with like a similar to stock round top in which looks like an Omega (Greek letter)

The later is what I am using.

You may need to actually glue the nub to the correct angle on the arm. Another option would be to use some grease or a thick silicon oil to hold the nub at the correct angle while you install it.

Got it installed, shoved it in place with a screwdriver of all things.
