What about blunted screws
Great minds...
Just wanted to report that after reading the instruction on the bus bar again :) - it says "#10 sheet metal OR 10-32 self-tapping screws".
Existing bulges and "bulbs" from rivets of the DIN rail at the back of the box result in clearance from the trailer wall about 2 mm - slightly over 1/16".
3/8" self-tapping screw in 1/4" thick insulator + 1/16" aluminum will protrude at the back by exactly 1/16". Bingo!
A blob of Goop won't hurt too.
PS: Still curious about those 3 extra holes in the back, see my last photo.
