Hi Dieter

No worries, I understand the responsibility involved in this issue. I'll try to get help from a friend who is a good DIYer.

Thanks anyway , this is just the last step and you both already helped me a lot with the installation of the Mean Well +5v.

I'll post a picture of the finished job when it's ready

Thanks

Ricardo
