I used a thin piece of rubber I happened to have to fill the extra
space, so that the PCB stays pressed outwards against the frame where
the radio will fit. The rubber already had self-stick adhesive on it,
otherwise I guess I'd have taped it in place.
I had trouble finding something the right thickness -- .6mm is only
.023", or 3/128th of an inch. Blister pack plastic is too thin, and
most everything else I found around the house was too thick. I didn't
really want to use sheet metal, in case it came loose and shorted
something out.
(The extra piece of rubber stuck to the mounting pad was there to help
reduce some of the torsion that happens when I tighten the clamp screws.
It helped with the audio disconnect, but not enough to be reliable.)
