Was it a bad fit, or what else is wrong with doing that? I was thinking of
trying that (for a PDP-8 Posibus/Negibus project) since I figured, PCB houses
do decently accurate outlines (better than I'll get with a hacksaw and a file
for sure) very cheaply. Plan B was to use various sizes of flat bar stock
(either nylon or aluminum) screwed down (with spacers) perpendicularly over
the tops of the connectors. That way you'd get the correct shoulders for
the flip-chip keying, but it'd be fiddly to assemble.
