If you cannot find a vendor to sell you the correct parts, you can also simply buy a closed front, and cut a hole in it yourself. This is what I did to mount my MO 640 in my 7500. A hot knife will cut the plastic very nicely. Then you can use a fine file smooth the edges, and get the dimensions exactly right. The file made a pretty awful noise, but the result is excellent.
