The 15.79 is relative to bottom of panel == outside of bottom wall,
ie. it includes the bottom wall.

Meaning that I made an error here, with 15.79 including 1.5mm bottom wall,
because 27.51 is the *inner* height.

Correct distance from top of Alpha PCB to inside of top wall is
27.51 - (15.79-1.5) = 13.22mm

So there's 1.5mm more space both above Alpha header plastic (10.68mm) and
from top of my PCB to inside of top wall (1.8mm) than I thought.

Sweet - a comfortable fit.
