The cases are not manufactured in our company but by an external case
manufacturer. I'll have to ask the manufacturer how the parts are fixed.
They only got from us the specifications how the cases should look in the
end. We don't know all constructions details as we leaved it to manufacturer
how to built it.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
