I know that feeling you get when you think you have the right part and it's just a smidge too short! I loathe having to make modifications to cabinets, even if they're inconspicuous. But I'm weird like that.

it looks really good!

the switch was messed up on the 41-315X as well. but it's a push-on-off switch that's riveted into the buttons assembly.

I threw caution to the wind and crossed my fingers.. I was able to get the case to break open right where I wanted it to, fix it and encase it in epoxy.

looks like you've got the cabinet back together?
