We have 3 Spirit packs (two people with bad backs and 1 person is 5’0") and for ECCC we drilled 4 holes and zip tied the shell to the Alice frame which works well but we’re building proper motherboards for it.
Any assistance on the size of the L Bracket I should get?
You can see our zip ties in this picture
These packs are not heavy so I’d just get some cheap 1 inch L brackets. I 3d printed mine for my son’s pack and it’s about the same size but a lot heavier. Gorilla glued to the shell and works great.
This is what I made for mounting my sons pack

Thanks! I figured metal ones were over kill for this, hence looking for alternatives. Do I need to tap the hole at all?
the 3d printed ones have a spot for a lock nut. I think they are #8 screws and lock nuts. Could be #10 I don’t remember.
You made this even easier than I could have hoped. Thanks a ton
Spongeface has a kit now specifically for mounting the Spirit pack to an ALICE frame!
I found some l brackets at home depot. They are not to wide and have pre drilled holes so tapping them was easy and the ones I got fit in the upper channels on the pack. I also made a mobo out of thin plywood.
do you by chance have the part numbers for those brackets?
