I think I have a solution. A plastic 3.5" to 5.25" floppy bracket. Drill four holes, add four 1cm bushes and that should work. Its bloody tight though. Basically the same way the floppy drive is mounted. Now to find some bushes the right size.....

I still had an ICD box from a micro adapter and this sheet metal was included I think. No idea how it fit ?

Thanks Frank, this is sort of what I'm planning on. That plate would work the same way, it would use bushings. The screw holes match. I might just recreate it with ABS sheet.

Well ABS was too flexible so I went with a ply sheet and some Supermicro standoffs. Works a treat.
