AML500 Joint Kit - Module to Module, Module to Node

The fixings for one AML500 joint. The module-to-module kit has four machined 6061-T6 spigots, one for each chord, and 16 stainless taper bolts with M16 nyloc nuts and washers: two for each chord on each side of the joint. The module-to-node kit has the eight taper bolt sets for the module's side; the node's spigots are fixed. The same kits bolt a leg to an AML500 base plate: the module-to-node kit for a node on the socket base or a module on the spigot base, the module-to-module kit for a module on the socket base.

The 1:50 taper bolts seat in holes taper-reamed through chord and spigot, so the joint pulls up tight without free play and keeps the structure aligned.
