How about this, instead of going at the 112 panel, just buy a blank 4hp
pane and put the mod into that, install the panel next to the 112. If
you are feeling confident put a mult in the panel too!
brilliant idea, will do that.

i need to buy a mult anyway for another project, will see if i can fit a
switch in a jack hole. if they are both the same size then life is
sweet.
