Can someone help with my Kato EH200 decoder install? (Digitrax DN163K0D)

[bc6]

I know a few threads are using a Kato EH500 chassis but I'm having problems with where to isolate the copper strips. The pictures aren't that great that I've seen so I'd like some clarification before I destroy a decoder, I'm using a Digitrax DN163K0D.  I've reached out to a member and waiting for a response, Mods please feel free to merge this post into one of the many on this installation.

Isn't an DN163K0D too long anyway? Or am I mismatching their formfactor?

The DN163K0D does fit in the EH200.

Ahhh, true. I missmatched with the long one.

These are photos of my EH500 install with the same decoder.

The accompanying Digitrax instruction booklet that came with the decoder has pictures on how and where to apply the Kapton tape to prevent the short to the motor.

If you dont know Ive ditched the DN163K0D and got a ND-EH200 decoder from the dRM. 

The installation was a piece of cake and from Taiwan it took about two weeks to get here.
