ya sure

they had a batch of faulty ones so there are a few cases floating around.
regs will be heat sinking to the end plate.

I had to file the edges of the board at an angle.
I think I'll put some sort of bulk head plug at one end for connection

Use a hacksaw to make those profiles deeper ?
To get a more earthly snug fit.

na the board is just too wide to fit even if I deepen the slots.

you don't need to take much off the board at all to get it to fit at an angle. but the regs do end up on a funny angle.

I may change the way they are heat sinked to the case. perhaps a tight fitting piece of ali that sits in a slot.

This question pops up from time to time, and I never remember the answer. Three numbers come to mind 20 22 24, I think 20 is too big, 22 is tight, and 24 is loose? Something like that. Hopefully DeuceEFI will drop in and give us his 2c at some point soon. I should probably measure a few things and sticky the info :-)
