How to add GNX modules to UCM

Until VKB introduces dedicated modules for UCM or adapters for GNX modules to UCM, I have created this for myself.

We will need:

- VKB UCM BRACKET
- GNX module
- Drill
- 2mm drill bit
- 3mm drill bit
- M3 screws
- M3 square nuts

First we remove the cover of the GNX module and put the screws as you can see in the photo.

(Note: the bracket already has the holes because I took the photo after making them ;) )

We center the GNX cover on the bracket. We tighten the screws until they touch the bracket.

Now that we have marked the bracket with the position of the screws, we will drill first with the 2mm bit and then with the 3mm bit.

We reassemble the cover on the GNX module and screw the module to the bracket with screws of the correct length. I seem to remember that I used M3x25 for the highest part and M3x20 for the other two holes.

Sorry for my English level.

I know this thread is old but I was looking for exactly this! (Thank you so much) However I am in love with this photo but I would love to know how the center keyboard is mounted/supported? If those are brackets from something else are they custom or if not, what do I google to find them?

Edit: Oh I think I found it, looking into UCM sets ... looks like they have a lot more combos then when I bought my set. I assume that is a side mounted bracket interestingly mounted at an angle?
