Yeah, I think this is a dead end, to be honest. I've searched for various phrases to try and find these clips/brackets and nothing comes up. I've tried super gluing the LEDs in the holes, but it isn't going to work. So I think I'll just scrap the case and get another one.

I would try hot glue for the buttons and LEDs. I've had quite a few cases where the LEDs were just hit glued into place.

Okay, that sounds like it’s worth a try. It definitely needs to be fast acting though because there’s gappage around the LEDs and plate, whereas the switches wouldn’t be a problem as they’re wider and rest up against it.

Be a shame to lose the case just for this, so here's a method I've used in the past...

- cut a thin disc off the unheated glue stick with a sharp blade / craft knife (no more than 2 or 3mm thick)
-make a hole thru the centre of the disc slightly smaller than the LED and push it thru about as far as shown in my previous pics - this is now your DIY mount
-put the LED thru the case hole and tack it in place with small amounts of the heated glue - try not to melt too much of the disc at this point
-should be more than sercure enough

That's a great idea with using the unmelted glue as the led mount. I'm going to remember that for a few projects.

Very true, it would be. But thanks for the suggestion. I’ll see if I can do that. And I’ll get that glue gun ordered. 😄

Another way (to achieve the disc element at least) is to use small rubber washers - then you can afford to be a bit less precise when attaching with the hot glue

I thought that was a dummy/pacifier at first. 🤣 Might have some rubber washers in the shed. Thanks. 😀
