Hello guys! I was wondering if I could maybe get some advice/ideas from you all.
I'm trying to replace the HDD bay converters in my build with hot swap style trays. I'm going from
EZ-Fit PRO MB082SPDual 2.5" HDD & SSD Full Metal Mounting Bracket for 3.5" Drive Bay to
ToughArmor MB992SK-BFull Metal 2 Bay 2.5” SATA HDD & SSD Mobile Rack for 3.5" Device Bay
But the problem is the new one is designed for floppy bays, so the screw mounts aren't quite right.
So I have this problem -
The screw holes on the new one are M3 and the old ones are 6-32, so they won't fit. And the rear screws also need to sit back further than the new unit will allow.
I was thinking about using this - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G56ZNZU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 and cutting off the sides and JB Welding them to the side of the new unit, and shaving a bit of plastic off the insides of the G5 HDD Caddy.
Do you guys have any better ideas?
Thank you all!
