Hi Dick,

This is a good step forward.

I had in mind making the PCB wider so that it extends over the entire 
length of the base plate on each side.  It seems to me that you could 
then make the PCB mounting points less intrusive into the cavity below 
the PCB.  It looks like I still have that option even if you don't 
change the mounting points (true?).  And I think that would also better 
support the PCB and allow for more thermal contact between the PCB and 
the base. 

I see that you have more mounting points per linear distance for the 
cover than for the PCB.  Is this based on vibration modeling?

Please reconsider this.  It will cause considerable restriction on where 
connectors can be located that are also soldered to the PCB.  Connector 
space/flexibility is a *major* issue.
