46-420 Hippo Line Cord Replacement
#1

I am currently working on a 46-420 "Hippo" and need to replace the line cord with the molded-on strain relief. This presses into a hole with a "shoulder" to hold onto the chassis.

Is there a "best practice" method to secure a new line cord as this type of strain relief is no longer made?

I was thinking of grinding off the shoulder, and installing a current type of compression strain relief, but am not sure what Dremel grinding bit is appropriate for the steel chassis.

Any advice?

Regards,

PeterN
