Apple G4 Cube Case Mod, Spring loaded Bread grabber

The part that runs through the unit and holds the bottom of the bread needs to be chopped off to fit in the Apple G4 Case. There is another function to consider here and that is the mechanism that operates the little holders that come in from the sides and squeeze the bread.  This amounts to needing some type of cross bar at the two ends with a hole in it so the wire that operates the bread clamp can go through.

I trimmed this right before the excess upward tab that was left over from the longer toaster.the metal is pretty soft so you can just score it then bend it until it breaks.

Next we are using a piece of metal let over from one of my 4 toaster (I kind of lost track). it is just a little strip and we are going to bend it into an arc and drill through the ends of the guides and attach. This will have a small hole for the wire from the spring mechanism. the wire goes through the hole and then is bent so that when the leaver is pushed down the wire will get pushed down as well.
