Install the block onto the support.

Add the threaded inserts (see following steps for sizes).

The inserts must not protrude.

The surface in contact with the sheet metal must be as flat as possible.

If necessary, clean off any plastic burrs on the underside with a utility knife.

For most blocks, you must use M3S inserts.

However, it is preferable to use a standard M3 insert, if possible.

E.g.: HDMI and USB-C blocks are compatible with M3 inserts.

Deburr the holes of the USB extension with a Phillips screwdriver.

Insert the extension into its slot.

Use 2 Phillips M3 screws to secure the extension.

Use flush cutters (the large ones) to cut a lock washer in half.

Use the larger piece (see photo).

Use a flat tool to insert the half-washer.

As with the others, you must use 2 Phillips M3 screws to secure the extension.
