I have posted the pictures here:

The pictures show three things:

1. The square holes that the mountings go into.
2. The top and bottom side of the steel mountings.
3. The top and bottom sides of the nylon (?) mountings.

I find myself to really need the steel mountings to be able to mount the bus
converter, I am hopeful that I can move a couple of existing nylon ones.

Regards

Rob
