You will need 2x 8mm ID x 12mm OD x 15mm Length bushings such as these: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07JM1ZHG3?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details For assembly: >Press in the 2 bushings into the holes for the height adjustment knobs >Transfer the bearing guide rails from the original AmScope part >Transfer the rear linear rail end-stop screws >load the linear bearings with the balls while sliding in the sliding stage >Transfer the opening linear rail end-stop screws >Set the slide travel end-stop screw >Install the microscope holder and mount to a VASA compatible arm VESA screw hole size is 3.5mm.
