Hi Nuno,

Everything is in the github repository:

Various endplate designs are in this subdirectory:

They are 0.8mm thick double sided PCB designs using the KiCAD tool:

Bare PCBs like this can be inexpensively manufactured by various services based in China:

Hi Steve, 

Thanks for the links, look everywhere  but couldn't find them.

I haven't seen the inside of the endplates till you give me the link's, now I see that are some tracks on the back endplate, that is making my idea more difficult.

My idea was to put two HL2 in an 19" rack box, from 2U to 4U, or something like 310x280x80/120mm inside dimensions, and pass all the front connections to the back, leaving only one power button on the front and the leds, but I wasn't expecting the track's on the back panel, so I've to rethink my approach.

Hi Nuno and Group,

The optional use of these circuits is described here:

Perhaps the most successful use has been for band volts to send band information to some PAs:
These circuits are all optional, and you can remove what you like and replace with what you want if you design your own endplate. As you can see, there are 5 different designers of endplates in github:
