  2. Push an M5×40 SHCS up through the upper plate.
  3. Thread on bottom to top: spacer, F695 flange down, F695 flange up, spacer.

check Check

Four items on the bolt, reading spacer, flange, plain, plain, flange, spacer from the side; bearings spin freely, cable channel clear.

What you're looking at

The two upper plates, left and right, carry the same tell as the lower bodies: the right-hand plate has the endstop wire channel. The stack you build on the M5×40 is the belt corner: two F695 flanged bearings, flange-out, between two brass precision spacers.

Caution

Rev D+ / LDO: the manual's "M5 Shim" is the brass M5 precision spacer in this kit, here and everywhere else unless a page is explicitly noted otherwise. src
