I measured the height of the 202-R chassis at the rear and see that it is 1 7/8 inches high. The Bud Box that I bought is 3" high so i will be removing 1 1/8 inches from the box to make it the same height as the 202-R chassis. I also measured the MPX-65/WX multiplex chassis and they are about 4 1/2 X 3 1/4 inches. The top of the MPX sub-chassis needs to overlap the chassis it mounts to by some amount to allow for sheet metal screws to secure it to the mating chassis. The best I can determine the cut-out in the Bud Box will need to be 2 1/2" W X 4 1/2" long. That allows for the sub-chassis to overlap the mating Bud Box chassis and space for the folded metal tabs on either end of the long dimension of the MPX sub-chassis. These MPX sub-chassis are a little tight to fit the mating chassis even on units that came with a removable plate where the MPX sub-chassis is to mount. The 202-R had no room left over for mounting a MPX sub-chassis, hence the need for a separate box to hold the MPX unit.
I marked off the parts of the Bud Box that will need to be removed. After I get the box height shortened, I will measure and cut out the hole to receive the MPX sub-chassis. I have a metal nibbling tool that I can use for that purpose. I hope to get a start on this soon. I am curious to learn how the 202-R will do when connected to a MPX unit. This box will also serve to locate the transformers for filaments and B+ needed by the MPX sub-chassis.
