Here's how I did it. I will explain what is shown in my video. Let's take the top plate for example. I would take the original aluminum top plate from the LST XXL and stick it on the sheet of CF like shown in the video. Then I would use this original stock aluminum plate as a template to make these holes in the CF. The holes that are in red in the pic are the holes that I will use to secure the new CF top plate and by using the original top plate from the LST XXL, you can be sure the holes will be perfect.
Once those holes are done, you can use screws and nuts to secure the stock aluminum top plate to the CF sheet using the holes you just made to run the thing against your bit to cut the CF exactly in the same shape as the original top plate. Like it is shown in the vid.
Then you can use the pdf file that you printed to serve as a guide to make the extra holes needed to make the truck like I did it. The holes and openings in red in this pic.
