LED indicator mounting rings
I've probably tried every LED indicator mount made and none of them look clean enough for my taste. They either stick out to far, are too big around, or just plain look cheap. Most of the time I use the smaller 3mm LED's and just drill a small hole and glue them in from the back side. but recently this method was challenged by the area I wanted to mount the LED's not having enough space behind to get to it and glue them in. I ended up using 1/4" stainless set screws drilled and tapped into the area, then drilled the set screw from the back for the LED to go into it. This worked and looked better than I had imagined it would, so I'm sharing the method with everyone incase they have the need.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
