What pots with .090 Aluminum chassis?

Mikko	What pots with .090 Aluminum chassis? Hi, Now when I won the long hard fight restoring my sound when throwing in these new mouser alpha pots I think they still keep hating me...I have not inch meter now in my hands, but I have bad thoughts already that they're not gonna fit at all 0.090 thick chassis (including faceplate!) which I planned to do. They hardly fit to this thin marshall steel chassis! Is there different models of these alpha pots and I bought the wrong ones? It seems that CTS work slightly better...but I also see that in my super reverb fender had "thinned" the chassis a bit around the screws. WTF?? Is this the way to go now... Mikko

Hi,

Now when I won the long hard fight restoring my sound when throwing in these new mouser alpha pots I think they still keep hating me...I have not inch meter now in my hands, but I have bad thoughts already that they're not gonna fit at all 0.090 thick chassis (including faceplate!) which I planned to do.

Is this the way to go now...
