So I'm ready for final assembly on a dual EZ1290 unit I'm building and I realized that the sheet metal on the case is thinner than the other projects I've done. The problem is that I used to drill a hole through the bottom of the case and then use a larger drill bit to make the hole concave so that a flat head screw would be flush or just below the surface of the case so that I wouldn't worry about it scratching other gear in a rack. With this case the sheet metal is much thinner, I'm not sure what the exact thickness is but lets say it's probably the same thickness as a computer case. So how do I go about mounting the screws so that they don't stick out?
I was thinking about welding nuts into the inside of the case but that would be sort of time consuming. I noticed on most pro gear the case is indented on the bottom wherever there is a screw.
Any ideas? Maybe there is some obvious solution I'm missing here.
