Heh, funny you should mention that....  I'd been trying to locate
those little brackets-n-bolts for a while.  I finally found appropriate
parts in the "hardware" section of the local Altex Electronics.
To be honest, I don't know where you can order them.  Home Despot
doesn't seem to have anything quite that small.

Just remember that the screws and such are #4 sized, which empirically
seems to be the perfect size to mount in 1/8" holes. :-)

Maybe Ric Miller would know more from his (sadly defunct) ARF days?
