Can you recognize this part?

I recently purchased an MFT3 and a couple of clamps for it and a Rotex 150 and a few days later I found the part in the pictures attached.  Can anyone clue me in as to what it needs to be attached to?

Thx,  Lloyd

One place to look.....

There are the four brackets that form the four corners of the MFT.  The leg assemblies attach to those brackets.  There are several set screws that resemble the picture which tighten the aluminum profile pieces to the corner brackets.  It is possible that one of those might have come loose in shipping.

I was folding up my MFT and while I was carrying it upside down, I thought of your picture, and thought... "what are the odds???"

Back to the shop....

Another, and perhaps more likely spot would be one of the four fasteners for the actual MFT3 top - one in each corner.

Lloyd,
They don't have a MFT-3 parts diagram on the website yet but here is  the MFT1080.

Check out part #41. They leave it loose so you can latch and unlatch the guiderail clamp. Mine fell off and I found it and put it back no problem.

Could be a free spare ;D

It is the bolt that holds the MFT top on, here's a pic, my best guess.
