Line up the PCB, brackets, and Q5 so everything is square and fits comfortably,
then tighten the 5 screws:
a.
2 that hold the brackets to the PCB
b.
2 that hold the brackets to the heatsink
c.
1 that holds Q5 to the heatsink.
6.
Solder the three leads of Q5 on the solder side of the board, and clip the leads.
Inspect your work from both the top and the bottom of the board to make sure
there are no solder bridges between the leads.
Once the power supply/heat sink module is completed, set it aside and proceed to the next
section, where you will build the amplifier modules.

You may have 1 or 2 fuse clips left over at the end of this section. Put them in your
spares cupboard for a future project.
