Great thanks. Was just worried about shaking things apart!

I use adhesive backed neoprene foam sheets. You can get it in all different thicknesses. I use 1/8" for padding my electronics. I get my stuff off Ebay.

Once itā€™s on your board, itā€™s very difficult to remove, so I expose only a small area of the adhesive. Just enough so everything stays in place. To seal the enclosure, you can lay strips along the edge, or you can just do one big pad like Evolve or Ego does that pads your electronics and seals the enclosure edges.

I decided to use exterior door weather striping and aluminum rivet nuts.

I saw pictures on here of a guy who used tie-down anchors and a velcro strap that looped through and over the ABS. He just pulled it snug and let the velcro do the restā€¦ I thought this was an awesome idea. Quick accessā€¦ andā€¦ seemed very secure IMO.
