Also, as Larry has noted in private email, it is difficult to drill
holes on the small bend of the PCB bracket. The bend in the metal tends
to obstruct drilling access. Drilling from the outside requires
sacrificing a piece of wood for each bracket. This also may not be the
safest drilling position, with a long vertical piece held by hand,
drilling through metal which can have a tendency to catch and spin.
