Not that Felder Industries see itself in the business of telling Bell
Enterprises what time it is, but if you go after that heater box with a
chisel and pop it open you will save all the little tabs instead of
grinding them off (rolls eyes) so they can be drilled through and the
heater box can be fastened up with small zip ties.
Respectfully,
Jim
