the mounting bracket with screws, nuts, and spacers
![](images/MOTM420/420-08-bracket04A.jpg)
We start at the bottom corner nearest the bracket - the bottom right
- place a spacer on the bracket
- put a screw through the pcb
- lift the pcb over the spacer so the screw plunks down into it
- then slide it over so the screw slips into the hole in the bracket
- holding the screw in place, we pick up the bracket
- fit a keps nut over the screw and tighten just enough to hold the screw in but leave the pcb quite loose

Then we do the top one near the bracket - the top right
- we rotate the pcb back a bit and place a spacer on the bracket in the arc of that rotation
- rotate the pcb back over the spacer
- slide a screw into the hole and therefore into the spacer
- rotate the pcb sliding the spacer and screw over the hole in the bracket
- holding the screw in place, we pick up the bracket again
- fit a keps nut over the screw and tighten just enough to hold the screw in but still leave the pcb quite loose

Then the bottom left
- we lift the pcb a bit and slide a spacer underneath the hole (we used pliers to hold the spacer)
- drop in a screw
- holding the screw in place, we pick up the bracket again
- fit a keps nut over the screw and tighten just enough to hold the screw in but, again, leave the pcb quite loose

and the top left
- same routine - lift the pcb a bit and slide a spacer underneath the hole
- drop in a screw
- holding the screw in place, we pick up the bracket again
- fit a keps nut over the screw and tighten just enough to hold the screw in but, you guessed it, leave the pcb quite loose

we put nuts onto the pots - just finger tight
![](images/MOTM420/420-08-bracket24A.jpg)
![](images/MOTM420/420-08-bracket25A.jpg)
slide the pots and bracket into place and screw down the bracket with keps nuts
![](images/MOTM420/420-08-bracket26A.jpg)
nuts now go on the front of the pots finger-tight - this holds the pcb snug against the panel
![](images/MOTM420/420-08-bracket27A.jpg)
and the pcb gets tightened to the bracket
![](images/MOTM420/420-08-bracket28A.jpg)
so now - anywhere there's a gap between the inside-pot-nut and the panel, the nuts get tightened back against the panel
![](images/MOTM420/420-08-bracket29A.jpg)
and the outside pot nuts get tightened - this way the outside nuts are actually tightened against the inside nuts rather than against the pots, see?
