John, I will post a copy of the one sheet of instructions I received when I got my Grove gear and a couple of pictures of the mounting brackets on my web site. I posted a message on the net when I got them that if you are using new wing airfoil shapes (AS5048), you will need to install additional wood blocks between the spar caps since the bolt holes will not go thru the taller spar caps with the standard bracket Grove manufactures for the KR2. r/Bernie Lexington Park, MD KR2S Builder
