The keling servos I got (also the KL23BLS-115) have 2 very shallow tapped holes that line up to the mounting holes of the encoder. I found some laptop assembly screws that just happened to be the right length. Mariss seems to love these encoders over the cheap us-digital ones for his step/dir servo drives....
