Place half of one of the adhesive pads on the face of the piezo disk but 

leave the backing material on the top

 

side

 (so the it will not stick to the 

face place) 

 

Attach the face place, using the four M3/12mm bolts and the hex standoff 
pillars. Use the two M3 nuts with two of the M3/8mm hex bolts to secure 
the top holes
