CRZNDOG,
Whatever floats their boat I guess. It doesn't make much sense to me either.
On a brighter note, my connectors arrived today and I just finished the install.
Photo01
Placed masking tape over the outside and used the backing plate as a template.
Photo02
Using a Dremel, I routed out the connector hole.
Photo03
Test fit. I continued routing until the connector fit flush against the top box.
Photo04
Drilled screw holes. I put the screw holes at 12, 3, 6 and 9 to avoid recessed area inside box.
Photo05
Using a cutting wheel, I notched the backing plate to fit flush against the inside. I also had to remove the tab to allow for a flush fit.
Photo06
Shows mount from inside. I added some black silicone sealant around connector to prevent any water leakage.
Photo07
Shows finished inside connection.
Photo08
Shows finished outside connection.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the installation.
