Parts:
- M3×20 SHCS ×4 · Fasteners, Tools & Misc box
Do:
- Start an M3×20 SHCS by hand through each trimmed corner hole and thumb nut into the T-nut below.
- Nudge a T-nut if a bolt misses the thread.
- Run all four down only until they just take up.
Check
All four bolts engaged and turning freely, plate still sitting flat on the spacers, no bolt cross-threaded.
What you're looking at
Manual p.59: the four M3×20 bolts. They are longer than the official manual's M3×16 because this plate is 10 mm thick and sits on a spacer. Start them by hand so the T-nuts can still slide to meet each hole.
Caution
Rev D+ / LDO: M3×20 SHCS, not the manual's M3×16. This plate is 10 mm and the spacer stack is taller, so an M3×16 will not reach enough thread. src
