Default Maze2 mounted more efficiently

I converted my setup to 1/2" and quickly realized that with the thicker tubing it was going to be a PITA to tighten the stock mounting system down. I had also never really cared for the nylon stuff anyway, so I decided to change it out. I got some 8/32 x 2.5" screws with bolts at Lowe's and then used 2 8/32 nuts tightened all the way to the end of the screw as spacers. Then I slipped these screws through the waterblock and motherboard holes and put a nylon washer on the backside. From here you mount it just like the regular maze2: tighten the nuts in a diagonal fashion. Here's the finished job:



There is enough clearance for the side panel to still close, so it was a success I should mention that eyecannon (from a different forum) gave me the initial idea and that the holes on my A7V-133 were a very tight fit for the 8/32 bolts so I had to take care that the block was actually making good even contact with the core.
