Countersink holes for 2-56 flat head screws. The metal is too thin for full depth countersink. Just stop when you start to enlarge the clearance hole out the other side. The thicker Prism Box Lid will accept a full depth countersink. The remaining depth is tapped 2-56 so you can screw in a flat-headed screw pointing out ofn the box and the screw head will not rise above the inside surface of the box and scratch the glass prisms.

Prism_Box_Frame version 2 will have room for ND filter and 75mm lens both inside hole. Lay filter directly on pbs cube. Then lay flat side of lens directly on filter. Then screw in retainer ring.

Use heat shrink tubing to surround the connections to the temperature sensor. Order of the wires in the 8-pos connector are as follows. Starting from the first position which is marked with a triangle on the connector, the top row is: blue, black, green, and bare wires. The second row is: brown, white, and red wires.

Install 2 jumpers: (1) from EOC (End Of Conversion) to ribbon wire 17 (2) from CS (Chip Select) to ribbon wire 15

Choose 4 hex spacers across ends of optical path (not front or back where cables come out). Hold crossbar level with its top edge at the same height as the Sided-Panel mounting holes. Mark Hex Spacers with pencil at center of slot in Crossbar Bracket. Remove spacers and drill/tap 4 holes to accept 6-32 screws.

Note that the Light-Lever-Standoff-Spacer is asymmetric and that it is installed so the 5/16" hole for the periscope is closer to the Prism Box than to the Optical Rail. This section will be covered with tape to protect the optics from dirt and splashed buffer.
