I agree with Jonathan, that would be nice to help fix old systems that
were not always treated kindly...
One of my SS20 is nearly pristine, but the others were carelessly
handled for a decade or two before I salvaged them, and the cases are
in an awful state - what's left of them.

I have recently done an OpenSCAD model for the Sun 340-2963 (backpanel
filler for SS10/SS20), there's no real place to put it where it could
be found by someone in need of one.
3d-printed in PLA it's not sturdy enough to hold an MBus module, but
it will help control air-flow by plugging unwanted holes from removed
SBus cards.

Is that purely internal for the LSSM, or do you make the modelled
parts available somewhere?

Cordially,
