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.
