Subject: RE: [motm] Stooge bracket mounting question

From: "John Loffink" <jloffink@...>

There was some talk a few months back about stooge brackets for jack
heavy panels, but I don't think a consensus was ever reached on how to
accomplish this. It seems like everyone has their own idea about it.
Larry's existing brackets may not work because the knob cutout weakens
the area too much to add jack cutouts as well. I believe most people
end up making their own brackets out of sheet metal from the hardware
store.
