I would be interested in participating in a group buy for the end plates. I will need two of them.

There is a $100 minimum order policy at P-M, shipping and taxes additional. The end plates with gaskets and screws are $7.25 each so we'll need to order 14 end plates to meet the minimum; that's enough to do 7 enclosures. The plates are cast aluminum and are blank so you would need to drill your own holes per the diagrams Art provided. I don't know how many GPS kits were sold but if there's enough interest maybe we can do a group order. Steve WB0DBS

Phoenix Meccano has a bunch of nice aluminum extrusions (with card slots) usable for instruments and such. Minimum order is a nit. (Their stuff is nice but $$$$$$$) They deal with the public easily. Placed an order this past summer. A week later, they called and asked me to certify that the material wasn't leaving the US. Wouldn't explain further. She seemed amused that I was making a ham radio amplifier.

I was hoping that someone would design some end plates from PCBs -- it just needs the PCB design and then the production is easy. I've built cases before with PCBs as the front and rear panels -- they look nice. I'm in for a group buy....
