Do: Offer the two carriage halves to the MGN12 carriage and confirm the bolt pattern matches before you commit any heat-set inserts. Then bag them, labelled, with the probe retainer.
Check
Bolt pattern matches the MGN12 carriage; both halves and the probe retainer bagged and labelled for Ch 07.
What you're looking at
The X carriage is the two-part frame that clamps onto the MGN12 carriage and becomes the mounting plate for the whole toolhead. These are the Clockwork-2 halves, handed so they nest only one way; older X-carriage parts look the same and will not fit.
Caution
Rev D+ / LDO (p.129–130): "If you are building Clockwork 2 double-check that you have the correct X-Carriage and follow the instructions in the Stealthburner manual." src The carriage goes on with the belts in Ch 07; the toolhead itself is Ch 08.
