You have to drill holes for the post screws and counter sink them. There i an ear on the bottom of the post that sits in the slot that the strapping tape goes through. I had to remove about 1/4 inch from the outside of this so it wouldn't hit the top plate. You will also need a 3mmx16mm set screw to use as mounts. I got these at the local hardware store.
Thanks for the info... just what I need to finally secure the lipo battery.. at the moment I can use strapping tape.. I make a battery guide from plastic kydex (used in tc bumpers) and now the lipo is not moving in place.
