[Elecraft] 2D Fasteners

[Bill Johnson]

And a great invention at that.  I was amazed at how simple and yet so functional.  Came with the K2!  Beautiful.

FT'er for K2, KX1, KX3, KXPA100,  KAT500, W2, etc.

But they *do* allow you to join two enclosure planes while also supporting a PCB or other hardware. That was the intent of the design. (I invented these in 1998 :)

If you make them, observe and measure very carefully. The holes are not centered on the block. They're offset ~1 mm from centerline. I forget exact dimensions. Be exact.
