[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by csxmu Hey Ken I want to make My GP30's into RDMTs , did you just shave off the grills and fans or cut and paste? [/quote] A little bit of shaving, a lot of semi-coarse filing followed by steel-wool rubbing on the sides. There are no maintenance doors on the RDMTs I've seen (other than two all the way to the rear) - the sides are smooth as a baby's bottom. Since this is a Rail Power Products shell, the rear fans had been glued-on so I simply popped them off. I placed a thick piece of styrene underneath [on the inside], then filled-in the holes with Squadron putty. Wish I would've used something else, like J-B Weld 'steel' expoxy - the Squadron stuff shrinks too much. [That's what I get for being too lazy to drive out to Home Depot....[sigh]]
