Re: Electrical Box . . .

All of the ones I've found are 19" wide and I just measured and I only have a hair over 17" wide. I mean I could "wiggle" 19" unit in but I'd have to be VERY creative and that's not what I need to do in this situation.

Re: Electrical Box . . .

Maybe you can mod it and shave off the ends?

I'm going to head out to town later this morning (once the ICE and SNOW melt off the highway some) and try to locate one. If I can get my hands on one locally I can measure the "main body" of it and see if "Modding" is an option.

Re: Electrical Box . . .

Al i can measure mine when i get home and let you know the dimensions of it if your unable to travel out. I was going to do the same if i didnt have enough drawer room. But luckily i didnt need to. They are thin metal so they can easily be cut off if needed. ill post the measurements when i get home for ya.

You have enough room to mount it standing on end, don't you? Mount it vertical...

Re: Electrical Box . . .

Thanks Dennis. That would be AWESOME!!!

Thanks gang
