Jim,

Clamp it in the vise with the opening toward you and maybe some
cardboard between the box and the jaws. If you are worried about
clamping pressure put a block of wood in the box so you are clamping
only the bottom and a parallel or such behind it if it has molded feet.

It does have small feet that would cause problems, so the parallel
sounds like a good idea. Is the opening facing me for visibility or is
there more to it?


Size the hole for the male connector regardless of which one goes on
the box.

Just out of curiosity, what is the reason for doing that?

Thanks!!

Bill
