+Mount the keyboard to the case using 6-32 Male/Femail standoffs.  This will keep the keys from protruding too much, and provides room for the lid to slide between the case and the keyboard.
+
+Because the threads for the keyboard screws are angled relative to the case, I suggest using an internal-tooth lockwasher between the standoffs and the case to provide a bit of traction.
+
+I also suggest using thin insulating plastic washers beneath the screw heads to protect the PCB, although this is optional.

-The keyboard is designed to accommodate PCB-mounted Cherry-MX compatible Spacebar aligner hardware.  Most standard aligner kits come with pre-bend rods for a 6.25u spacebar.  Since the 8u spacebar in the retro-keyboards, you will need to bend your own rod.  I have included some sources for the rods below (1).

+Be sure to install the stabilizer hardware (except the rod) **before** combining the PCB and the aligner, since there will not be enough room to install the stabilizers once the two are assembled and soldered together.
