[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.
