Step 1
– Drill the appropriate turret holes throughout the board (either #43 drill bit for press
fitting or drill 3/32” for swage fitting).
Step 2
– Deburr these holes with a hobby knife or counter sink tool on both
sides of board.
Step 3
– Drill the appropriate wire routing holes (1/8”) throughout the board.
Step 4
– With a countersink bit or tool, countersink these wire routing holes
on both the top and bottom of the board (photo 6.2a). This countersinking
will protect the wires as they maneuver through these holes.
Step 5
– Drill the appropriate screw mounting holes (5/32”) at the four
corners of the board.
Step 6
– Deburr these holes with a hobby knife or counter sink tool on both
sides of board.
Insuring Proper Fit of the Board in the Chassis
Step 1
– Lay the newly drilled blank turret board into the chassis over the stand-offs.
Step 2
– Verify that the board can be mounted with screws to these stand-offs.
Step 3
– Adjust the size and / or shape of any mounting hole(s) in the board in an effort to
make the board properly fit on the stand-offs.
Step 4
– Once the board has been verified to fit (by mounting with screws to the stand-offs),
remove the screws and the board and prepare for mounting the turrets.
Installing the Turrets
Step 1
– Using the method of your choice (press fitting or swage fitting), install the turrets in
the appropriate holes of the board making sure that the turrets are mounted on the correct
side of the board.
Installing the Board Mounted Fuse Holder
Step 1
– Mount a 3/8”, #6 screw into the mounting hole of the
fuse holder.
Step 2
– Mount the fuse holder to the top of the board,
inserting the #6 screw through the appropriate hole in the board.
Step 3
– Secure the #6 screw and fuse holder assembly to the board with a #6 KEPS nut on
the opposite side of the board and tighten.
