Default Original Fuse box cover solution on ERA stock fuse block w/pics

Ok, so I took the advice of not messing with the stock fuse block setup from ERA. I think sound advice. It got my wheels turning though and I had from my old TR6 days an NOS 7FJ fuse block and cover. In months past I had placed it over the ERA block as it looked very close. Now the stock cover has a bar in the middle for lack of another descriptive term that it mates to the original fuse block. Right off the bat I new that was an issue but something I could easily cut or file down so it did not hit the ERA block. I was at ERA on Monday and got a bare ERA fuse block. When I got home I did some quick fiddling and then this AM I finally had some time to work in this. Pictures are worth a 1000 words so I will let them tell the story. Bottom line is that I was able to shave off the bar in the middle, mill down the inside edges of the cover with an ignition file and a lot of patients and I got the cover to go mate with the stock ERA block. Not restrictively tight but a good seal. Don't know long term if it will stay on but I can't see why not. Any comments would be welcome good or bad. This accomplished my goal as best as possible.
