The hole patterns for the individual nutstrips will line up with the scores on the VersaFrame Tube. The distance between the holes will be the same as indicated in the previous section labeled Mounting Pattern. Drill the holes using a #9 drill bit.
Bolt the Flipped GreyT Telescope to the tubing using six #10-32 x 1-1/2"L bolts.
