attaching PCB to module panel

[volumetrik]

Hi there

I'm planning to build a modular synth with the MFOS modules, some of the things I'm unsure about is, how do you attach a PCB board to a module panel , I would like to do it like in this pic, does anyone know where to get the L-brackets like these?

thanks

I'd just make my own honestly. A good starting point for dimensions can be found here, or you could just order them from Mr. Wilson's site:

I use 1/2"x3/4"x3' aluminum angle from Home Depot. I cut off a 1/2" or 3/4" piece(using a hacksaw) depending on the PCB/Panel. Then drill holes in it. Even the smallest L-brackets are usually too thick and don't fit my PCB/panel configuration just right.

I build my own also. I use thin scrap aluminium and drill a hole on one side for the pot shaft to go through, and drill a hold for the PCB mounting holes on the other end and bend them.

i make them myself from 0.5mm steel sheets. i cut them with tinsnips, drill them and finally fold/bend them using a vice and a hammer...

Hi, joiners/ carpenters at work usually have loads of these kitchen base unit wall fixings left over, they are 20mm X 20mm. i used loads on my MFOS modular
