The included face plate is meant for a specific case. It does not match my actual case perfectly and it doesn't lock into place, but because the width is standard and the fingers on the sides are springy in general, it press-fit and stays just fine without needing to modify. More flexibility in positioning either the inner or outer mounting would be good. But everything worked well enough without drilling more holes myself. I gave 4 instead of 3 stars eggs because it was hard to find anything quality made.
I'd rather drill another hole in a quality metal bracket than have a shoddy plastic bracket that breaks. The product was not in fact sold as generic but for a specific case. The drive wouldn't fit into the bracket. I had to file the bracket's edges down with a hand file to insert the drive. After that, everything went smooth.

Yeah, i can honestly say, my first thought in viewing pics, was pretty much, holy well, why on earth would you now take out everything?

I could bend the bottom back into shape, I just didn't mess with it as I don't use internal drives up there anyway. I really couldn't think of any other way to get at those upper rivets. Prying them apart was the only method available. Joined Aug 12, If there is a next time, you might try to buy, rent, or borrow a right angle drill. A Dremel tool could have been used to grind off the rivet heads use a small ball shaped abrasive bit and keep it centered on the rivet head, same as you would do with a drill bit only the tool would be held at an angle.
