1Piezo Prep
Soldering to the piezos: The Piezos are a brass disc with a crystal on one side, the brass is the '-' and the white part, the crystal is the '+'. You can buy them with the wires already soldered in place or you can do it yourself.
You should use a thin flexible wire. Soldering is pretty strait forward but caution should be used when soldering to the crystal, I used pretty low heat, 250deg C. Hotter temps can damage it. For the brass part turn your heat up because it is such a heat sink, I use 350deg C for the brass.

2Cut and Glue Your Parts
Laser cut 4 sets of Piezo Mount.SVG out of any non conductive ~.25" material.
These get stacked up and glued together, I used acrylic and Rez-N-Bond.

3Put it all together
Next feed the leads thru the holes and solder on the screw terminal.
Super glue the terminal black down.
Cut a 1.5" circle from 1" thick polyurethane foam and cut a slit in it for the wires.
Place the foam in the housing and the piezo on the foam.
Add the 3M Command Strips.
