[sdiy] wondering how to a pcb behind a pannel neatly?

[Julian]

I'm trying to mount a pcb behind an anodised aluminium panel.

The usual trick of securing a bracket to the rear of the front plate, using the panel mount components unfortunately wont work in this instance.  That's how ive done the rest of my modular - with plastic right angle bracket.

But no go on this one.

What im wondering is how threaded spacers can be attached to the rear of the panel?  Then I could just bolt the pcb to these.

Im tempted to just stick them with epoxy resin, but I don't really think that'll last - the pcb will have to be held off behind the back pannel mount components, thus making the leverage on the join that much greater :(

What to do?  I really don't want to have to bolt through the front plate.  I always think that looks messy.

Suggestions welcome :)

Cheers, Julian
