Sorry just realised you said Appleby.

The modification for your needs is shown in this picture.

The right hand lug in the picture had been modified (in this case) with
toe nail clippers. Two small snips and it is done.


Whilst a bit fiddlier to do, it is better to trim the white bits from
the box as this then allows the locking tabs to still function. Nothing
more annoying than inadvertently pushing the lugs away when trying to
insert the screws!


I just gently trimmed the white strips inside with a small wood chisel
until the space when it clipped in was about 20mm.

It worked fine.

Kicking myself for not seeing it sooner.
