  Gppd point.  If you want to get real fancy-like, you can get a chassis 
mount resistor and bolt it to the sheet metal.  I didn't see any thing like 
that on the R-S website but you can get one (or 600) from Mouser.

Another option is to check out the shops that cater to hobbiests.  Surely 
Denver has one of those.  I would think that every city of that size has at 
least on.  St. Louis has two such stores  Perhaps Fistels carries these.  Any 
shop with Saturday hours must cater to hobbiests.
