It does not fit exactly, but at least the width of the cartridge matches and the lower half already holds the PCB nicely. First I cut of the right part of the case to make it shorter and so the height of the cartridge matches. Now with a lot of filing\/rasping a created holes for the buttons and the connectors. Voila the lower part already matched.<\/p>\n<p>The upper of the case is too tall to fit in the expansion port of the C64. So I first cut off 8 mm around the cap. Again filing\/rasping added the holes for the connector and the LEDs.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I added 6mm distance pads inside the lower case half to move the PCB to the right level and closed the case.
