Default RE: Strongest 1/4 20 nylon bolts

Another point, is to stagger the bolt pattern, so they are not all in-line, centered down the middle of the LG plate.

If you can make three or four mouintg points; one front, two back [triangular formation] or 2 front & 2 back, you'll get more strength in the structure.

My 4 stars came like that, 3 bolts all alinged along a center line. I've made it so that one hole is near a front (or back) edge, while the other two (outer holes) are the opposite.
