FAQ IM-RP-3.7 The success of a pin and hole system requires a very high degree of precision when drilling the holes. Speed-mo has developed a drilling template and process on how to accurately place the holes in relation to the track. Use of this template and process is highly recommended. The process must be followed very precisely; it is recommended that the first few times you get assistance from someone with experience using the template.
The correct implementation of the Speed-mo standard will result in two 1″ OD pins and two 1″ holes on the module end plate for aligning modules. The hole and pin centers are placed in reference to top of the rail, not the top of the module. The hole-centers and pin-centers shall both be 2″ down from the head (top) of the rail (not the top of the module). The pin-centers shall be at 10″ to the left and 5″ to the right of the center line of the track. The hole-centers shall be 5″ to the left and 10″ to the right of the center line of the track. On an 18″ wide module the 10″ right hole and 10″ left pin are not used, they are off the end of the module.
Here is a video from G.W. Campbell posted 2/27/2026 on how to use the Speed-mo Template. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOO-MD9l7CM
