THE FRAME IS HERE!!!!!!!! THANK YOU COACH!!

Quick comment on monitor related stuff. The factory monitor, which is where the brackets pictured below are from is a Sanwa Sanwa 29PF31.

So there are two possibilities here. He cut the bracket, or it's two pieces' on the 29PF31. Here we have the frame from the 29E31S and these two pieces do not separate. Someone would have to compare and look at other frames to see if someone has some that come off. Someone said he had those exact brackets pictured above, said he would post pics but never did. 

   

But the frame is here!! Pictured on the stairs because I was dissembling it to take a top piece and single side piece to the hardware store to collect up the rest of what we need! At least close to for today!!

   

Got to the hardware store, had to guess on the standoffs for the inside of the monitor but the rest I was able to figure out by bringing it in,

   

   

So the above, shown mounted below is the following sizes:

Bolt = 5/16" x 3/4"
Fender Washer = 5/16" Center Diameter, 1" Outside Diameter 
Lock Washer = 5/16"
Nut = 5/16"

   

These should be installed always in the following order. Pictured below shows them not all bolted together to visually see the detail but it goes in this order:

Fender Washer > Bolt > ( Panel ) > Fender Washer > Lock Washer > Nut

   

The upper bolt pictured (finger tightened), which is the riveted in standoff (this is the built-in bolts), uses the following hardware:

Fender Washer = 1/4"
Lock Washer = 1/4"
Nut = 1/4"-20 (Thread Per Inch) 

Then quickly finger tight everything in to fit the rear, throw the back shell back on and see how it looks!

   

I also got some bolts for the rear frame brace holes, 

   

Which all this is going to be detailed in it's own post. This is because the next step will be to fit the frame to the Tube to know how far spaced the side bars need to be. Once I have that figured out, I'm going to go back to the hardware store and buy some steel flat rods and make a rear brace, top brace and then do the bottom braces which will also hold the chassis. Super excited! 

And, I wanted to wait to detail this but a System 256 is being donated!! So we're moving away from the PS246 soon! There is more to this, and I don't have confirmation on crediting donors right now with this one, plus it's also a whole separate post! And some seriously wild shit...
