Turn the frame over.
This is the same process as attaching the back plate.
Slide 5x T-nuts up each side bar track on the opposite side to the back plate.
Use the stainless steel strip to align the T-nuts with their corresponding drilled holes.
Attach strips to frame loosely using the round head screws.
The stainless steel strips are often a bit wangy before they are secured to the frame!
