Description
The cable and connector look very fragile and I don't really have a need for all that extra cable length. Using these brackets I was able to permanently attach the control-box to the side of the drum. If you have multiple control-boxes and switch between them (semi)frequently with just one screw you can switch in same time as without the bracket.

Materials and tools needed for installation:
4x M4x10 round face bolts
3.5mm drill bit + drill
4mm tap
(ALTERNATIVE)
4x M4x15 round face bolts
4x M4 nuts
4.5mm drill bit + drill
How to install:
If you want to also install bachi holder I would recommend doing that first. If you already have it installed make sure you will not be too close to the bolts already installed.
Put brackets onto the control-box and connect back both cables. Figure out where is the best placement for you and mark drill holes with pencil. Make sure cables won't be bent sharply and can still be plugged/unplugged comfortably.
Drill and tap one hole, make sure the other mark is still correct. Continue with the rest.
Alternatively drill hole little over sized and use longer bolts and nuts (Not recommended)
When all holes are drilled and tapped, screw in the brackets gently.
Cable manage as you see fit. I stuck one part of the cable under a wing nut and on the other side I have used hammer-on cable organizer clip, however zip tie to the white rail may work better. If you decide to use clips with nail, make sure the nail is very short (or don't hammer it in all the way) and you are doing it in an area where you wont damage anything (the sensors).
