I cannot remember who gave these quick release awning mounts to me at one of the meetups. I’m finally getting them mounted.

From the did you know file: absolutely NOBODY is making 1/4-20 drop in T slot bolts right now. Drop in is the key. Every available option requires sliding in from the end. M6 are too big at the head. M5 are too small.

Amazon is the only place I have found the T-slot bolts lately. I have ground off parallel sides of a M6 but they round off too easily.
I had to use carriage bolts and grind them just slightly to fit the slot. Still from the end. Grrr.
