Thanks for the comments Graham. I see what you are talking about on the leverage from the offset pins, but I didn't think about a fix. Most of the circuits, including the power distribution board will not need to be that tall, so I could reduce some leverage by making them shorter. On the board shown, I am planning to mount the components on the offset side, so that will help some.?
It is certainly a joy to take those hand tools and go to work and see what comes out. I have already made several mistakes on this project (most of them coming in the form of posts with misspelling, and other grammatical errors), but the great thing is that I can back up and try again. The ideas that have been passed along, and encouragement in the above posts are invaluable.
Thanks.
