	Drill and tap 1 hole near the end of an aluminum flat bar and drill (no tapping) 2 holes near the other end. Bend the aluminum flat bar into a 90 degree angle. Match drill the 2 holes into the HDPE, tap the HDPE, then mount the angle to the HDPE with screws. Mount a screw inside the 1-hole to use as the compressor piece. Place the HDPE inside the case and tighten the compressor screw to compress against the walls.

			Mount the HDPE plate inside the [[Terminal Case]] by using compression against the walls of the case. Use thread for higher torque from rotary-to-linear conversion. Use rubber or other high-friction, vibration-damping, electrically insulating material for reliability, continuous shock resistance, and EMP protection.
