If you send me a dimensional drawing I could ask our front panel
manufacturer to produce a blind panel ( "1.5 TE" or so) to compensate the
gap. It would be cheap (~ Euro 2...3) provided that we obtain sufficient
pre-orders (min. 50, otherwise the price will increase because of the
non-recurring machine programming charges).

Best wishes

Bakis - how about a poll (including the option "would you buy such a
compensation panel if it's in the Euro 2...3 range)
