    A01 : 960mm 2020 Extruded Aluminium - Tapped Ends2x
  • 90mm 2020 silicone alignment inserts
    A07 : 90mm Silicone Alignment Insert | 2020 Hardware2x

Tools

  • Screwdriver
    Torx  -  T8

Instructions

1 - Slide cross bars onto side bars

Ensure both cross bars on the same side bar tracks, with the L-brackets pointing towards one another and T-nuts on the same side
Align cross bars with side bars as shown. T-nuts are not shown in this image but should be facing upwards (see other step images)
Slide cross bars onto side bars as shown
Cross bar with both side bars attached

2 - Tighten the L-brackets so they are flush with the side bars

With the cross bars pushed fully onto the side bars tighten the L-bracket screw as shown in the image to make the cross bar flush with each side bar.
Do NOT tighten the L-bracket screws in the side bar tracks, the cross bars should be able to slide up and down between the side bars.
Using just a bit makes this easier due to the limited space. A hex key will also work.
Tighten the L-bracket onto the crossbar so the side bar is flush against the cross bar end
Make sure there is no gap before tightening the L-bracket onto the cross bar
Do NOT tighten the L-bracket onto the side bars yet!

3 - Push the silicone alignment inserts into the cross bar track

Push the inserts into the cross bar tracks, with the larger insert in the centre, separating the T-nuts.
This is to align the T-nuts for attaching to a VESA mount plate through the panel backplate.
