Only Pete has given any constructive and worth-while input - All you
can do is tell a guy likely old enough to be your dad to "grow up" and
do a half-assed job.

It is sounding more and more like you are bitching because a
drop-in replacement doesn't exist...

If you think that you are going to be able to do this without
opening the wall... LOL... Good luck...

It seems you are only receptive to specific advice here which
fits into your already pre-determined vision of how this work
should be able to be done...

Again... Either do it right or leave it the **** alone, if your
insurance is connected to it and all, then oh well, I guess you
will have to keep things they way they are now and your
descendants can worry about it after your passing...
