Steve, There IS room to install pin headers the normal way, even ordinary cheap ones without needing special low profile ones. Though, low profile would allow a little room for the pins to stick out of the top a little without having to be shaved exactly flush with the top surface.
So, if the components were on the underside, and the through-holes were small diameter to fit round pins the normal way, and the solder sode of the pins were sized to match the pcb, or nipped flush after the fact, then it just fits, even with common cheap pin headers with 4.2mm combined insulator + shoulder. The contact pin needs to be trimmed down to 3.6mm and the solder pin needs to be trimmed down to 1.6mm (pcb thickness) And really, we can probably find pins ready made already close to those dimensions. But even with the common pins, it would be a lot easier to build than extracting them. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JJuaZyszT0z5ZQiO2 I'm looking for possible parts that won't even need trimming now. -- bkw
