Can't secure my 8 outs into my Mpc 2000xl

Hey does anybody know how to secure the 8 outs into the mpc? My 8 outs arrived in the post off my mpc dealer without screws or a manual. I installed them into the back however there's no screws to secure the instalment. Because of this every time I try to plug a lead in to the 8 outs it pushes the 8 outs back into the mpc making it almost impossible to use. I've tried asking my dealer but he's quite difficult to interpret as you can see in the screenshot links that I've accompanied with this post.
Feedback and help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Can´t see your images.

If you don´t have screws, go buy some. If there are no holes, drill some...

I don't have my 2kXL with me at the minute because its off getting a bit of a servicing and mod....

but I installed my 8 outs like a piece of pizz......and I'm rubbish at zhit like that....

I didn't have to drill any holes or buy any metal plates......he's sold you half the goods by the sound of it.....

Thanks guys. It's actually becoming a little bit clearer to me now. Apologies if it seemed like a stupid question. I'm still a noob and don't wanna **** up my gear haha. Reckon securing the 8 outs on the outside with ring washer screws would be suitable.? Like the ones in this link.?

Ye man. Installing it wasn't too much of a prob for me. It's just securing it. Very much appears that I did get f***ed over with the goods ye. Hopefully the ring washers do the trick though. Will report back if the zhit hits the fan.

washers aren't going to secure shit. you need a nut for a 1/4" jack size. they should be easy enough to find.

Go get a nut, come back and tell us about it.

lamp i know ye too well...

Thanks for your help guys! Really appreciate it

Ok so the nuts are too small to fit on to the 8 outs. Does anyone know of a suitable plate I can fix the 8 outs on to, similar to what the stereo out and rec in are fixed to ?
Cheers.

The last 4000 I´ve bought was missing the plates for the optional I/O on the back and one on the front. I went ahead and simply made my own ones. Maybe you should do the same...

just find the right-sized nuts. get off the internet - you'll do a lot better in a hardware store with the board in yer hand than you will asking around in here.

too bad the ones linked didnt fit - must be a slightly different jack.
