During assembly of a friend's FT-5 I developed the following assembly aids that I thought others might find useful.
Y_Axis_Spacer - this installs such that it connects the Y linear rail bar to the X frame bar at exactly 28mm spacing as called for in the manual and assists in centering the Y linear rails fore and aft on the 2020 extrusion. Attach with some of the M5x10 bolts and t-slot nuts included with the kit, there are plenty of extra. These can be left installed which will keep everything lined up when you are adjusting the Z axis assembly. They will not interfere with the Y end stop installation either. Print four, two of them mirrored.
Linear_Rail_Centering_Tool - This part helps to keep the linear rails centered on the 2020 extrusions as you are tightening them down. Print two.
EndStop_Spacer - I didn't like the way the X end stop mounted per the manual so I created these very simple spacers to keep the bolts from flexing the PCB around the microswitch when tighte
