Their purpose is really just to have something to thread the screws into and secure the PCB - screws go in from the bottom side of the carriage plate instead of from the top side of the PCB, thereby eliminating all protrusions on the top surface of the PCB. A picture here is worth a thousand words here - I'll post one when i get around to installing it properlyIPvFletch wrote:Don't the springs and some washers sufficiently act as standoffs??
