Please Take Note:
The 45-SSV6500 housing cover
has a large pin and a small pin
on the inside of the cover. These
pins are to line up the screw holes
before screwing in the side plate screws.
Some versions of the housings do not
allow room for the larger pin and it will need
to be cut off or ground off before using
this cover plate.
