Cut the male connections of the jumper wires to solder on the PCB boards and save the female ends of the wires to connect to the Raspberry GPIO's pins.
Please note the orientation of the membrane connectors and the position/orientation of the diodes (black line).

You also need:
Electrical silicone gun 12mm (to fix components)

Attention! Remove the plastic protections from the female connections of the jumper wires and insulate them before connecting to the Raspberry GPIO's pins in order to be able to close the ZX Spectrum case properly.
Of course! You also need to cut the upper and down part of the ZX case for the USB hub, the micro-SD and HDMI entries.
Enjoy !
