Just snap into place. The plastic is rather durable as I have worked
with a set at least several dozen times without any problem. There's
no need to use any adhesive.

These OEM carts have no sponge. I have successfully used carts from
printers other than the R1800, ie. R2400 and some others without any
problems, you have to of course flush the old ink out first. The R2400
LK and LLK work great in the R1800 for b/w printing.

I actually removed the top cover so I could saw off the part. However
your hot knife idea is probably much better.

Let me know if you have any questions.
