STRATEGIES The Problem :

The panel is the correct height but not quite 5.75" wide.
The mounting holes are correct vertically, however the horizontal spacing does not match the standard spacing of 5.375".
The bolts holding the front and rear panels together interfere with the mounting rails.

The challenge is to eliminate the interference of the bolts holding the panels together and to adjust the mounting holes.

The photos below show the panel build as supplied by Hispa Panels with my backlighting circuit board.
