Collective Chair mount Extension

Great item, very quick & easy to fit and adds a nice amount of additional mounting distance for your collective.
Very fast delivery to me in the U.K too.

Someone didn't pay attention.

I don't even know what to say to Virpil. The other review they responded to said it uses the existing bolts from the chair mount to fasten to this piece, which is true. However, if you use those bolts to attach it like the picture on this product page, you are left with absolutely zero way to attach the collective base as it also uses those bolts.
So sure, you've got an extra 140mm of travel, but then have no way to mount the damn thing.
I'm genuinely convinced they've never tried to assemble this product before.
The chair mount adapter comes with 8 bolts, 4 to mount to first end of bracket, second set to mount to extension and other side of chair adapter, third non existent set to mount to rotor base.
The link to the manual from the other review even shows it needs 12 bolts and only 8 are ever provided with the chair mount adapter.

Will happily edit this review if they can send me a picture of how I'm supposed to use 8 bolts to fasten 12 points of contact.

No mounting hardware?

Quality, finish, and fit are excellent as always for VIRPIL hardware. But... no mounting bolts?? I received the plate and was unpleasantly surprised. No mounting hardware whatsoever! Sure, a quick trip to a hardware store would fix it but why?

Hi! No addtional mounting hardware is required as it uses the existing bolts from the chair mount adapter :) https://support.virpil.com/en/support/solutions/articles/47001254395-vpc-chair-mount-extension-plate-user-manual
