[SunRescue] Mounting things in 411 cases

Folks-

The 411 "flat-lunchbox" cases are supposed to have a removable mounting 
sled to which you can fasten whatever you plan to encase.  The sled slides 
in from the front, and is released by a catch on the bottom of the plastic 
case.

Of course, the 411 cases you get on the used market often are missing the 
sled, since the Sun-ignorant seem to have a proclivity for removing the 
contents of the cases and throwing them away, not bothering to remove the 
sled from the superannuated drive they are discarding.

I have no spare sleds, nor do I know a source of them.

I have, however, used self-adhesive strips of Velcro to mount things in 
these, and other, cases.  The stuff is remarkably tenacious, and a couple 
of front-to-back strips ought to work fine, unless the drive gets so warm 
that the adhesive comes loose.
