Parts:
- M5×40 SHCS ×2 · Fasteners, Tools & Misc box
- the completed
_adrive · already on the bench
Do:
- Set the drive baseplate up, retainer face toward the motor's extrusion, counterbore face outboard.
- Drop both M5×40 down the deep wells into the side-rail T-nuts, pull the body hard into the corner, tighten both fully now.
Check
Body hard against both extrusions, both M5×40 tight; the 188 mm loop hanging out of the retainer's window over the motor's extrusion.
What you're looking at
Manual p.41: the finished drive landing in the corner on two long M5×40 that run down the body's two 35 mm wells into the T-nuts. The drive is the fixed half: its two bolts go fully tight now.
Tip
The p.42–43 DON'T TIGHTEN applies to the two M5×10 in the motor foot. Those are the only bolts at this corner that stay loose.
