Doepfer

Correction to my last post:  While the left mounting screws should 
be 7.5 mm from the left side, I think the right mounting screws need 
to be a multiple of 5.08 mm away from the left screws.  If you used 
my suggested measurements for the module and left a tolerance of .34 
mm, this should presumably be subtracted from the right side 
distance, meaning that the screws should be 4.1 mm (7.5 - 3.4) from 
the right side.
The only panels I have yet made were 8hp with single mounting holes, 
so I am making a lot of untested assumptions here.  Somebody with 
more knowledge please help.
