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

[Bob Devries]

Julian, are there any pots/sockets etc on this panel? If so, make some sort of bracket to be mounted with the securing nuts for those?

  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
