I E-mailed the question below directly to the DIY store, but this is probably a better place for this question.
I am currently building a Sony VFET amp using the 4U alum. chassis. As I was putting together the back panel I realized that the parts kit for the back panel does not work for the Sony VFET amp. I am using the 36 Volt meanwell power supply and there is no connection in the parts kit for that female connector. It also means that the power on off switch isn’t the correct one to use on my build. Do you happen to have the part numbers for these two items that were used on the lottery Sony VFET build that you put together? I am using the Scourge FE for my initial build. I am also building a Mark Johnson Missouri FE board for it and am wondering if you have the part number for two balanced inputs that might fit in the existing input holes, perhaps the ones used on the ACA 1.8 build.
Thanks for the awesome job that you have been doing.

Well, after a couple of hours of searching I answered my own question, and ordered the above parts from Mouser.
Below is my parts list for those who might be interested.

Hello Gianluca,
This regards the Slimline 1U, with the 10mm thickness front panel (450mm x 50mm).
My design has five 1.0mm diameter holes in the front panel. The holes are 2.0mm depth. On the back side, the rest of the depth is cut by a larger tool (to prevent breaking the small cutting tool). There is no other material removal required on the back side of the panel, everything else can all be cut from the front side.
I wanted to ask, does this appear like it should cut OK?

I am afraid we cannot make those holes as the smallest one we can make on a 10mm front panel has a diameter of 2mm
Thank you for replying.
I can work with that. Those holes were for optic fibre lighting, and the fibre has a 2.38mm sheathing, so holes of 2.4mm would even be O.K.

Nice!!!
Just noticed the diyAudio Store sells the dissipante 3U and 4U alu covers now also in 500mm depth. Didn’t know of these. These can’t be found on the modushop page? I really like these sizes!
These probably use 250X120 (3U) or 250X165 (4U) heatsinks. Are the Dissipation Ratings of these heatsinks available?

These sizes are great for balanced preamps with relay attenuators, dual regulators and a controler. They will hold a lot of stuff. The machine work is first rate.
Yes I am currently in the middle of the Amazon forest in Colombia and have limited internet access 🙂 Regarding your questions, that counts as three holes and the monoblock rear panel is 230x171
I am interested by the dxf / dwg of the monoblock as well, as I see the measurements on the website don't seem to match with what you replied regarding rear panel height (I took 280x165 for the front panel).
Here is the drawing you have requested with the correct dimensions, please disregard my previous message
Gianluca,
Do you still have any of the older heat sink brackets left? Looking for 4 of the 250 mm ones and 8 of the 300 mm ones. The newer one piece brackets won’t work for my chassis situation, since I am making non standard enclosure heights. A 230mm x 250mm deep x 5U mini dis and a pair of 230mm x 365 mm using 5U heat sinks and 300mm top and bottom covers attaching to the heat sink brackets. So I need them separate.

Hey we still have some 250mm brackets but unfortunately we don't produce nor sell the old 300mm brackets anymore.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you
