What supplier was this order for? Also, is what you term a "butterfly" just a corner or L bracket?
Most 80/20 hardware, as far as I'm aware, has 1/4-20 threading; make sure to have a variety of lengths below 1" for mounting. Depending on the application, you'll want either a corner or L bracket (both of which are compatible with extrusion).
Having some 1/4-20 taps on hand may prove useful as well; we occasionally find threading the center tube to be useful when mounting pieces.
You may want to buy some other materials, such as wood or lexan - cardboard even - for prototyping; there's only so much you can do with 80/20, and it's sort of overkill for a proof of concept imo.
