Fastener Length in the Roof-Mount Fabrication
I cut and drilled aluminum pieces for the roof-camera and light mounts.
I adjusted attachment holes while bringing the assemblies together on the profiles.
I coated the camera-mount pieces black during the fabrication sequence.

My Takeaway for the Build
Cutting and drilling the camera mounts meant bringing several layers of material together. My long M5 purchase supplies deeper joint lengths, but the alternatives differ in more than length: the iexcell card identifies quarter-twenty screws. Keeping the thread standard visible makes the comparison useful when organizing hardware for the profiles.

Included Hardware
Flange nuts
Long screws provide room for a deeper stack of parts, but the stack and the threaded receiving piece still need to be drawn together. Lay out the bracket, spacers and nut before choosing one length from this assortment. For a van equipment mount, include clearance behind the joint as well as access to the socket head. The sixty-to-eighty-millimeter selection remains separate from the other M5 assortment and the fixed fifty-millimeter pack in my hardware collection.
What Should Be Measured Before Choosing A Long Screw?
Measure the complete parts stack and identify the threaded receiving piece and rear clearance.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The BNUOK alternative retains M5 threads in an assortment with nuts and washers. The iexcell alternative uses quarter-twenty threads, so it changes the thread standard as well as the screw selection.
