Cave dweller fabbed board trim mod for 1590a

Just an FYI.  Check the fit of your cave dweller fabbed board if placing in a 1590A.  Mine needed carefully trimmed on one of the outside edges to fit in a 1590A.  I have a NS 1590a but I also tried a hammond 1590a.  Unfortunately mine was already populated but it will be much easier to trim if needed before it gets populated.  Just some light sanding should do it, be careful not to sand to far into the ground pour.  I choose the left side so the regulator and large caps move away from the lid ridge when closed.

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked and yeah, it looks like there is a 1mm of extra border than there should be. I played around with it a bit and found angling it a hair is enough to get it in. Sanding the sides may not be necessary if the jacks are placed close enough to the top of the enclosure...or at least I hope not.
