Is a separate mounting kit required?
In the Kappa 2026 catalog entry, the KN26 is not paired with any mounting kit that needs to be purchased separately. Kappa makes the 26KNKITR hardware kit available as a spare part, useful if the hardware needs to be replaced in the future: we can order it for you upon request.
Can I fit it myself?
