Please Take Note:
The 45-SSV6500 housing cover has a large pin and a small pin on the inside
face. These pins are used to align the screw holes before securing the cover. Some versions of the housing do not allow room for the larger pin and it will need to be ground off or otherwise removed before using this cover plate.
