Hardware

The hardware are sold separately as different people like to use different hardware and heights on this frame, so they aren't part of this kit.    The kit only includes the carbon fiber plates.

Here is a sample

- Top bolts that go into top plate into the standoffs would be 6mm bolts * 8
- Standoffs Height, I would go with 25mm standoffs, others have used 13mm standoffs. Choose what is best for you.    I would use 8 standoffs
- Bottom bolts would be 14mm bolts * 12 (  8 for standoffs and 4 just to bolt bottom plates and arms together )
- Will need 4 M3 nuts to bolt the arms and bottom plates togheter
- Also need hardware for FC mounting
