RE: mounting MiniWave

I noticed that on the MOTM Miniwave faceplate the holes for the LED's 
are in a completely different place. How are people handling this?
<<<<

On the original MW from Wiard, the LEDs are mounted on a subassembly 
consisting of a small pcb with a ribbon cable attached. Mine is 
actually not mounted at all, but just holds in the holes through 
friction. If I would put a little dab of silicone RTV at each end of 
the pcb, it would hold fine.

I'd suggest this as a possible mounting strategy for the Blacet 
version also. Cut up a generic pcb from Rat Shack to physically hold 
the LEDs together, then mount the whole thing with RTV. That's the 
approach I'll probably take - including using the ribbon cable to cut 
down on wiring clutter.
