What the thread found

• The mounting holes on the MK-V post appear to be compatible with the Donkey Box 3/2/1 top stage configuration.
• Installing a Donkey Box on an MK-V sled may require custom modifications including an adaptor for two 15mm bars, a C-Spacer for the post top, cable management adjustments, and longer screws.
• When integrating a jbox with a Preston mount on the stage, the positioning can cause clearance issues with larger Lemo connectors, which may require either custom adapters or 90-degree cables as solutions.
• Generation 2 electronics are confirmed to be compatible with DB2 systems on MK-V Nexus sleds.

Depends on

• The exact compatibility depends on specific sled configuration and electronics version.
• Cable routing solutions are dependent on individual connector types and their size.
• Custom fabrication work from the manufacturer may be needed for proper adaptation.
