These meters just barely fit in sideways, leaving no room for the wires to run away from the green lugs, so I
had to unsolder them and flip them around so the wires left the lugs headed back into the enclosure
The meter faceplates also required removal of the end collars as well as a little nibbling in on the sides
since they wouldn't actually fit into the box.
After that it was just the usual job of carefully measuring and marking the location of the holes. I start by
using the caliper as a sort of scribe, running down the side of the enclosure with one arm and using the point
of the other arm to scratch a light mark in the plastic. Then I lay down masking tape where the marks are.
This serves both as a guide for drilling and also as a finish line for the final carving.
