[Elecraft] OT construction question

Here is my Power Pole holder. It is just a piece of 1.6mm thick aluminum 
with a notch in it. The notch is sized precisely to fit the groove in 
the sides of the APP. I just drilled a few holes and filed it to size. 
Then you make a slightly larger rectangular hole in the panel that will 
pass the back part of the APP. All that's left is the mounting holes.

Here's a picture (link is case-sensitive):
