## Install front-left-leg and back-leg onto aluminum extrusion

- Begin by inserting a `525mm-m3-t-nut-bar` into a piece of `600mm-alu-extrusion`
- There should be about 51.5mm between the end of the `525mm-m3-t-nut-bar` and the right-side end of the `600mm-alu-extrusion` after installation, but it needs to be slide aside in later steps so do not bother to make this perfect right now

![](img/install-tnut-bar.png)

- Insert `front-left-leg` and `back-leg` onto 2x pieces of `600mm-alu-extrusion`
- The `525mm-m3-t-nut-bar` is oriented in the top-side groove of the uppermost `600mm-alu-extrusion`
- The extrusion pieces should be *fully* inserted into each leg

![](img/install-legs-onto-ext.png)

- Bolt `back-leg` to `600mm-alu-extrusion`
- Insert 3x `m3-t-nut` into the `600mm-alu-extrusion` pieces before sliding each of them into alignment with the matching bolt holes on `back-leg`

![](img/back-leg-t-nut-insertion.png)

- Insert 3x `M5x10-bolt` into `back-leg` and thread the bolts into each corresponding `M3-t-nut`

![](img/bolt-back-leg-to-ext.png)

- Bolt `front-left-leg` to `600mm-alu-extrusion`
- Slide the `M3-t-nut-bar` out of the way *if needed*
- Insert an `M3-t-nut` into the upper channel of `600mm-alu-extrusion`
- Align the `M3-t-nut` with the top-side bolt hole on `front-left-leg`
![](img/insert-front-leg-top-t-nut.png)
- Insert a `M5x10-bolt` into the top-side bolt hole on `front-left-leg` and tighten it into the `M3-t-nut`
![](img/insert-front-leg-top-m5x10-bolt.png)

- Slide 2x `M3-t-nut` into the the side channel of lower `600mm-alu-extrusion` and align them with the two bolt holes on `front-left-leg`
![](img/insert-front-leg-bottom-t-nut.png)

- Insert 2x `M5x10-bolt` into the side bolt holes on `front-left-leg` and tighten each into the corresponding `M3-t-nut`
![](img/insert-front-leg-side-t-nut.png)
- Compare the WIP `y-gantry-left` assembly to the image below after completing all previous steps, address any discrepancies as needed before proceeding onward
