Paul,
Use flush cutters and trim them as close as you can. Yes, that 1mm
matters. If you do not trim them, the LCD will contact the metalwork on
the front panel assembly and may break when you put things all together.

Does this mean to flush-trim the pins of the U1 HOLDER? These pins are only
1 mm above the board. Am I really supposed to try to cut these even closer
to the board? Must the Insulator card assembly be perfectly flat on the
board, or is being 1 mm above the board fine?
