Hi again
I personally don't feel it that good sorry (I try to help)
I think you have to go with 3mm (anodized stronger?) fur such long panel
Be careful about angle bracket distance from side, you don't want the side screw head to end outside your front panel ! I have doubt with your picts?
Next easy test, punch or drill big holes for pot and rotary switches, let say two row (+10mm and -10mm from center line), 8 and 10mm hole each 40mm, with 20mm offset between row (or according to your layout if already set). As a 110mm fader cutoff...
IMHO you should go with 2.5mm U shape and punched for generic hole spacing for all option/modules, then add a 5mm frontpanel which can be fixed only by all screw from pot and rotary switches in a sandwich way
Your U shape can be more narow than 40mm (front panel layer take care of this) allowing to set PCB from side to fit alignment with back connector, no change at euro design.
At the end maybe it won't be more expensive? but you'll have a strong and nice mechanical design, which your electronic design deserve !
If you have "difficulties" at your side around mechanical integration I'm sure you'll find efficient help here to have something great at first run...
