Next installment. Swath has the idea of the day so I mounted my electronics on a tray. Cut a piece of .060" evergreen (1.5mm). Made some paper templates to finally get the hole placement right on the first try and drilled all the mounting holes. I countersunk the plate on the bottom for all holes. IMO stand-offs are a little tricky for these boards. There is not a lot of radial clearence around the holes before you could break into a trace so I used small lengths of Evergreen tubing. The mounting screws are 2-56 countersinks. Mounted the boards and volume pot to the plate. It's extremely modular now and if I want to reconfig the elec's when I later add my gun it will just cost me a little Styrene. Now I can use double sided tape, or velcro or whetever to keep it in place but I've got to do some driving now.

I epoxied on the conv kit. Used two-part 12 minute epoxy. It was hard to control. I trimmed the original body so I could support a good fillet. It seems pretty solid but I am a little concerned that the bond will stress crack when I really get on it in the field.
