    Fly cutting the long thin covers caused to much heat and started to warp. Decided to put on large upright belt sander 120 grit and cleaned them up. Will finalize at 320 grit hand belt sander to contrast with the flycut faceplate...

    Went with .218 drill thru and touch deeper countersink to give more case adjustment of stainless flat heads and add bling before final sand...

    Will tie it in with a chamfer to match the faceplate...

    Another great suggestion from the guys over on Phoenix. The 12v one I had is actually bigger, yet gives more clearance in the case near the control board. Just had to drill faceplate 7/8" thru and decided not to countersink it and expose it's bezel....

    Installed inserted studs with antisieze and gasket layers, then bolted down tight to straighten the bowed laminated steel. Works as intended. Looks like new. Took back apart to trim middle gasket and add RTV around that stud/gasket for insurance. Will do same for top studs near case and add extra shrink wrap as well. 100% electrically isolated....

    I'll add a rubber protector for the extended billet footing as well as some alcohol cleanup...

    Had to get a 10-32 x3/4" for the rectifier and tap the trans cover 10-32 for a 2" 10-32 flat stainless.

    Had to cut and re-thread a couple the 10-24's down to 3/8" near the AC socket and the backplanes for clearance..

    Test fit the WOA LED boards to the faceplate. I'll need to get 3/4" 8-32 button stainless. Just had 1" from all the Polk builds.
    The LED meters on the boards stand 0.310" proud of the PCB, so went with 0.390" tall Nylon spacers to leave a gap for thick film if I decide to tone down the bling later.

    You can take those plate dimensions I posted to the bank if you decide to build one yourself...

    Started left channel Enclosure last night...Gallagher Mansion had plenty of black paint....Plenty enclosure glue as usual too...

    Wish they used same glue on their magnets... Heat gun on low and slow blade peel. Luckily didn't tear them....

    Where do you buy black paint? Oh crap, someone beat me to it! LOL!! Excellent builds, but you do not need me to say that. Even Bob Carver or Nelson Pass would be crapping themselves right now about all this!

    Thanks Vsat. Means a lot coming from the Grand Modder himself. B)

    I guess I was about to technically make a Nelson Pass XSive.

    Is Adcom GFA-555 a Pass design?

    I do believe Pass was involved with the GFA series, at least for the first versions.

    Got some time to work on this monster and do final case assembly/adjustment. Had to use orange wire where I ran out of purple for the LED boards. No biggie. I've decided to machine off the bottom plate overlap on next shop trip. Then I should be ready for the 47 step run in from documents...

    @VSAT88 gets to name this one... B)

    I want a Cylon Red LED that moves from left to right and right to left. I'm sure the wife won't mind.
