Installing the Captive Nuts into the Chassis
Step 1 – Locate the four mounting holes on the outwardly bent
flange edges of the chassis, two on each edge.
Step 2 – Remove the protective white plastic on just
these edges.
Step 3 – With a 5/16” drill bit, enlarge all four of these
holes and remove any burrs.
Step 4 – Place the chassis, flange down, on a flat
solid surface (concrete floor is good).
Step 5 – Place an inset nut on the flange directly over
one of the newly drilled 5/16” holes (photo 5.1a).
Step 6 – With a few blows from a hammer to the top
of the insert nut, seat the nut firmly into the hole and
flush against the chassis flange. To assist in making
sure the nut is firmly seated, you can also insert the
chassis edge and nut into a vise and press together (photo 5.1b).
Step 7 – Inspect the nut to insure it is well seated (photo 5.1c). Repeat step
6 as needed.
Step 8 – Repeat above for the remaining three nuts.
Step 9 – Once all the nuts have been mounted, test fit in the cabinet and
modify the hole size as needed.
Drilling New Holes for Mounting Can Capacitors
Step 1 – Measure and mark appropriate side of chassis with pen according
to (drawing 5.2a).
Step 2 – Use a center punch to mark the point to be drilled.
Step 3 – Drill the 5/32” holes at each of these marks and debur the holes.
Step 4 – Remove all remaining protective plastic covering from chassis.

There are several great modifications that are possible on this amp. I recommend
reviewing these mods prior to beginning the following assembly steps to see if there is
something that interests you.
