Long story, but the short version is I want to mount my A/B switch to the side of my VCR, and I'm looking for advice.
The options as I see them are:
With bolts (actually, given the size I'm talking about, threaded rod with nuts), I'll have to drill two very small (#4 or #6 diameter, which I think is no more than 3 mm) holes in the side of the VCR cover, which means taking the cover off (which I've never done), but I know it will hold, and I know that if I ever remove the A/B switch, I just remove the fasteners and other than the two very small holes, there's no sign there was ever anything there.
So, go on ... tell me why I shouldn't do this.
Also acceptable: give me options I haven't considered here.

- double-stick tape or something like that,
- self-adhesive velcro, or
- bolts.
