Top with NMO installed

Notice the circle below the date stamps

After drilling from the top and installing the NMO , I found that it looked to be dead center in the circle from the picture to the left.  Couldnt have planned that any better if I tried!

Magnets installed

Template for inside tray   -  The corners can be sheared at a 45 degree angle beginning at 1 inch from the original corners of the tray.  This keeps the corners from hitting the sides of the case and provides an easy 'finger hole' to ease in tray removal.

Template again  -  Tray (as cut) measures exactly 9.25 X 7.25 inches.  Actual tray will need to be a bit smaller to accomodate sitting just a little lower in the case due to less of the screws holding the magnets protruding into the case.  When I measured and cut the template, I didnt have any ruber washers between the magnets and the case bottom.
