I don't like holes in the tops of cabinets so I'll plug it with a treaded aluminum plug. There is also a hole in the back that is too close to the panel stand-off to be useful, another plug job.

The cabinet does have an EA key which is smaller than the standard cabinet skeleton key.

Haven't decided it's future yet. I have a couple emply flasher cabinets that I'm thinking about building some flasher/panel/guts thingies but am in need of parts.


Glad it all worked out.

I checked out all the photos (not sure if it's the same box) and nice plug work there on the one box Joe! Your "vice" or using the drill press' table to hold the box while you tapped it was ingenious. :thumbsup:

  Stipple the semi-wet body putty with the end of a paint brush and sand lightly and with some work, it'll look like the original cast metal next to it and blend seemlessly.
