Huawei E160X (Vodafone K3565) 3G dongle external antenna / casing

Step 11Insert the dongle into the enclosure.

Insert the dongle into the enclosure.
Filing the USB connector hole at an angle towards the top of the box on the inside will help here - just connect up the pigtail connector, coil the wires at the bottom of the box as best you can (a  better job than I did here would be nice!) and slide the dongle in while bending the heatshrink on the pigtail. Try and make the connector at a right angle as well - the configuration shown below is putting a little more strain on the dongle's antenna connector than necessary.

As you can see here, I elected to keep the SMA connector in place with epoxy resin. A nut and washer would have done the job a little more neatly if I was able to source them.
