Now it's time to solder the 3,5mm connectors. Before solder place all of them in 
place. Then take the front panel and insert all the connectors to its hole. After that 
turn the whole piece and solder all the connectors. Take special attention to make 
strong solderings here. These are mechanical parts where you will be switching in 
and out the jacks, so you want that these parts be very solid.
