Title: A4000D Front fascia/faceplate repair
Post by: danbeaver on March 04, 2013, 08:02:49 PM
(http://www.amibay.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)             A4000D Front fascia/faceplate repair          
                                                              I acquired a 4000D with damaged (broken) faceplate tabs.  I want a faceplate that is still removable, but reliable.

Replacing the plastic tabs (with home-brew) would be unreliable (and  likely break again).  Replacing them with metal tabs would be  problematic in fusing the metal to the plastic.  Fashioning a plastic  wedge (a right-angle 1cm X 1cm or simply a 1cm cube) to make a flat  surface on the backside of the faceplate would work using a  Velcro-to-Velcro connection; it would be reusable, but time consuming to  locate although I could hot-knife it from unused plastics...

What are others doing as a fix this situation?

(I've listed this question elsewhere, too)
