[simpits-tech] backlit panels 101

[Wombat]

Hi Ido,

The ALU plates should be 1.6mm thick and the drilled hole 6.5mm in 
diameter. A link to the DZUS PDF is below for clarification (go to 
page 71 & 72). It describes 100deg countersink and the tools 
required to do the job. The tools could be easily made.

Regards,
      Joe
