Next up is the simple task of securing the cross bar that the center heating panel attaches to. This is pretty self explanatory, just drill two 1/8 inch holes at each end through the end pieces and screw in some computer screws. this makes the unit more rigid and keeps the heating elements in the center of the square.
Cut the slot for the top of the toaster to stick out of the commuter case. This is pretty much just a straight line from the sides of the existing center opening. When cutting the opening you should remove the metal bracket on the inside, it will go much faster and I needed to remove it eventually anyway. Remove the plastic top (will put it back after it is done).
As you can see it does fit into the computer case quite well but I did have to trim it up a bit more. There is some excess on the non lever side that I took off as well. and after this point it just needs some touching up here and there to fit perfectly.
