I agree about pushing the power
connection to the board edge. I did that and there's enough
clearance not to need adding insulation.
Otherwise what I did was to wind the
toroids first and do a dry assembly of everything in the LPF area
to make sure that everything fitted.
Then solder everything more or less
from the outside in, finishing with the toroids.
A few other thoughts:-
When fitting the connectors between the
boards I fit the boards together with the connectors then solder a
couple of pins on each connector while fitted together so they jig
each other.
I squeezed the pins for the PSU boards
together slightly so they touched the board.
When soldering the BNC fit the display
and main boards together in the top of the case with the BNC
attached to the end plate and the plate fitted to the top half of
the case. Maybe the other end plate also fitted.? This holds the
BNC and main board in the correct orientation while you solder it.

Hans, I can add one tips:
When installing the input power connector, push it towards the
board edge.
This will increase the very small clearance to the left encoder on
the control board.
Nevertheless I put kapton tape on the encoder body facing the
power connector
