How is this MIP mounted?

I saw this diagram for one mounting solution for the MIP.

     I know that if you use its clamps the UFC, MFDS's have 2 bolts attached to the clamps allowing you to change the angle but also to remove a single pivot point so they dont rotate.

     This solution uses only one through the UFC mount (1) and one through the MFD mount (2).    This should work fine if indeed there was a solid connection where I circled with a question mark.  From what I see in the manuals the HUD component and the MFD may touch but they are not bolted together so it looks like you are relying on really clamping the plastic mounts on to the 8040 so things don't rotate easily, which doesnt seem ideal.

     Now, if you use two holes to mount the UFC and MFD to the 8040 you are forced to change the angle more upward facing and I am not sure if the HUD and MFD will align properly?   Can anyone  help here?

Thx

There is no connection where you have the question mark.  They fit together at that point with the bottom section below the UFC overlapping the AMPCD, but nothing attaching them.  Might need some sort of spacer between the back of the UFC and the post to keep it from pivoting, which would probably keep the AMPCD from pivoting (it would push out on the bottom of the UFC so if the top of the UFC can't pivot back it should keep everything in place).

Thanks for confirming, I thought i was right but at the same time was thinking that if they are selling this solution it wouldn't just rely on you clamping down on those plastic bracket as hard as you could to stop it all from rotating.

 

     Mine should arrive in the next couple of days so I can play around with it, I have a lot of spare 8040 about and will just be patient thinking how I go about doing it.   I since saw a monster tech one and that is much along the lines of how I was thinking to do it so that I get as much adjustability as I want to try and make them line up in VR.
