Hey thats cool you finally got it figured out. When I did mine I kept the boards well separated and fastened them with screws and rubber hose to keep them in place and hopefully avoid stress cracks. I also checked all the wires for possible loose strands shorting against adjacent terminals. Mine is a bigger case than most, but it does work flawlessly.

Thats cool it took care of your bouncy speed issues too. I wonder if anyone else having bouncy speed issues could benefit from doing what you did. My speed signal does go through a factory buffer first, but it is rock solid, no bounce, and I am still using v.70.
