    Component securing?

    The component can be changed. The C slot has flat polished surfaces. The aim is to secure it from the top and bottom inner face of the C slot. Regarding the shock and vib i dont have any figures but for arguement sake lets say its medium.

    Component securing?

    I have no images. Basically its a C slot, the material is steel, the edge of component im trying to secure is Al, once ive got the component in place i need to secure it to the edges of the c slot that can be built in the component edge. The only access I will have is from the front to secure it.
