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](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) 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 [https://github.com/CountDeMonet/ArduinoProtonPack/blob/master/Model/83\_Percent\_Pack/mb\_mount.stl](https://github.com/CountDeMonet/ArduinoProtonPack/blob/master/Model/83_Percent_Pack/mb_mount.stl) ---

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. ---

Spongeface has a kit now specifically for mounting the Spirit pack to an ALICE frame! [http://www.gbfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=44232](http://www.gbfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=44232) ---

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?
