Re: LED spacer sizes

2006-10-25 by bambam4236

Thanks colin and steve for the replies.

I think the standoffs i have coming should be perfect by the sounds 
of it, if not i was just going to do as colin suggested and use the 
case to hold the led's while i solder them to the pcb...i guess if 
the standoffs fit though ill use them for some extra support.

There are few bits to go so hopefully another P3 will come into this 
world this weekend ;) BY the way how do you tell the serial number 
with the kits?

Thanks
Brett
