<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?</FONT></DIV>

behind a pannel neatly?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm trying to mount a pcb behind an anodised
aluminium panel.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But no go on this one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 :(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What to do? I really don't want to have to
bolt through the front plate. I always think that looks
messy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Suggestions welcome :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers,
Julian</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
