    Ok new to open builds. Purchased the 1515. Which I love. BUT. This one has me feeling stupid. It’s advertised as leaving the tracks exposed allows you to clamp down. but the way the build video tells you to build it there is now way of accessing the tracks. Did I miss something so obvious that I am an idiot.

    The LEAD1515 assembly video dates back to Nov 5th 2020, we only added the T-Tracks to the store recently :)

    The adverts doesn't show T-Track (as far as I am aware) - still shows the old way shown in the video (gap between boards, instead of T-Track you could have clamped to the V-Slot's slot using M5 hardware)

    Essentially, install the T-Track onto the 2040s and just space the Spoilboards next to it, they still mount to the same corner brackets.

    The video shows the same gap where the T-track could go if you add it.

    Ok but there is still no access to the tslots at the end because they are butted up flush to the 2040. Not sure I am describing it correctly. I can post a picture shortly. The clamps you sell requires you to slide the clamp bolt into the side of the track

    thanks for helping

    That was one of the disadvantages of the old way. Had to use drop-in tee nut

    But with T-Tracks added on top its not an issue - you can cut them so they overhang the front and back.

    So I think I understand now. Track is not the cross brace but an additional piece you put on top of the brace. I thought you used the Tslots in the actual frame cross brace
