Alternately you can skip the foam spacer and drill a hole in the bottom shell and mount the main baord using a nut and bolt.

9. Flip nes mobo over and put in place making sure led wires exit properly and power wire is not crushed between nes mobo and base ribs.

10. Screw in a couple screws to secure in place and test your work. If the kit works replace the other screws to nes mobo.
11. If you have the LED, remove power button, drill your hole in the plastic divet, I use a #32 bit so the LED is press fit so no glue is needed, bend led leads down so they won’t touch power switch.
There is a video of the LED install here.
12. Place top shell on to nes making sure no wires get pinched and fasten with 4 security screws.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
