Drilling enclosure question for newbie

[stewart]

Hi, newbie here.

Ive almost finished the PCB for my Tube screaming ultra and have a question. Should I solder the pots to the PCB then drill holes in the enclosure or drill holes, mount pots, then attach the PCB? If that makes sense.

I have the template attached to the enclosure but am nervous about trusting the holes are going to be in the correct place and I won’t be able to fit it all together. This is my first time having to drill for more than one pot, which of course is impossible to get wrong. Any help will be appreciated.

Typically it is easier to solder the pots afterwards for the obvious wiggle room reason.

Thx Barry, appreciate your help!
