Good idea on widening the existing hole. I tried this weekend to drill the mini-fit JR holes into a half-height slot cover and it would work ok but the slot cover bends very easily once it has that big hole in it. Pushing the plug in would easily bend it. Maybe the widen the existing hole idea is the right solution. I'll look for a stronger half-height slot cover meanwhile.
FWIW, the hole for the mini-fit JR 4-pin jack is 10.8mm so a 7/16 titanium drill bit on high speed should go right through the steel and then use a file to clean it up. M2.5 screws will attach it to the case, preferably ones with a pointed end.
