Bolt on, obviously. You know there's going to be a day when the asteroid is coming and they could save the day if only they had one more bolt! |

Neither bolt-on nor dovetail. Velcro, obviously. ![]() |

Gotta be dovetail. If it was M & T, the steel in the bolts would upset the magnetic field, which is very delicate in zero gravity, and throw the ISS out of orbit. Mr. Science |
