Question for those who have completed DIY-WB assembly

[Bruce]

I spent alot of time looking at both.

The way I did things was with the componets facing away from the AL plate.
Then I mounted the items needing to be heat sinked to the AL plate, and the
main connetor, that way all the leads folded over one side of the PCB so
that servicing it was really simple, and there was no way any item could
touch the AL to short out.
