All, To add to the excellent information Art has provided - I spoke with Candice Rincon at Phoenix Mecano and just received a quote from her for the end plates. There is a $100 minimum order policy at P-M, shipping and taxes additional. The end plates with gaskets and screws are $7.25 each so we'll need to order 14 end plates to meet the minimum; that's enough to do 7 enclosures. The plates are cast aluminum and are blank so you would need to drill your own holes per the diagrams Art provided. I don't know how many GPS kits were sold but if there's enough interest maybe we can do a group order.
