Commodore PC10 Hard Drive Mount Bracket





Description
This is a replacement for Commodore PC10-1/10-2's HD Mounting Kit #380042-01 for installing a 5.25" MFM hard drive into the internal drive bay. The original is folded sheet metal and rubber grommets to lessen the vibrations to the chassis. This is a replica of that, with an attempt to reproduce the rubber parts using TPU for similar damping effect.
As an added extra, the sideplates now have a second set of holes and if you print a shorter set of the rubber parts, this can mount 3.5" drives too! (Mount the right-hand side panel and rubber grommet on the other side of the wall, see pics).
Depenging of the TPU material used, you might need to adjust the length of the "rubber" part to match the drive and tightness of the screws.
Print one frame, two clips and four grommets. The two clips that slide beneath the drive frame to the chassis are printed separately and need to be glued to the rest of the frame with superglue or similar. The holes are sized for M3 screws, I used 20mm length and some washers and nuts with lock rings. There's also one larger screw that mounts the frame to the chassis.
Note: do NOT ship or transport the computer with an MFM drive mounted like this, the 3D-printed part probably won't be able to withstand the weight of an MFM-drive during transport.
