The next step is pretty easy, just cut a slot up the back for the lever to stick out of. Center it and make it wide enough for the lever. The part that was hard was doing it, I ha sure others would have the right tools for the job but I ended up making two cuts with a hacksaw then remove the center. Be sure to use the back of the G4 Cube as there is extra reinforcement there. I know this picture looks rough but I cleaned it up with a file so the finished looks better.
With the slot cut I can put the internal into the case and get an idea how it fits. Unfortunately it is still to tight but the offending piece is the fastener for the magnet.
This is a simple fix though because there is allot of excess and there is a slot on the piece to bend the metal into (after you lop off the tabs and shape it a little)
One other thing that did not fit in the G4 Case is the controls for light dark… I think I will have to put the controls on the bottom (keeping with the Apple function over form mentality).
The end result is beautiful and it is really starting to come together. Here is it all in one piece, you can see it is a little sticky but I am sure I can fix that. I think I need to widen the slot just a little bit… and grease it up of course.
