a) Well, the 'flat part' where the pcb mounts is ~4.35" x 3.85" (not the 
hole spacing). The flange part (that goes under the pots) is ~1.35" x 3.85".

b) these are stainless steel, aluminum is too soft at these thicknesses, 
unless I go to a tempered (like 6061-T6) and those tempers do not like 
right-angle bends.
