Well I've put the shielding in and the cap on and trimmed it all up and it's looking ok....
I then shaped a new longer control panel out of aluminium and was very happy with it.
I then put in the holes for screws and the pots.
It was looking really good right up until the last hole - for the oputput jack...
I think I pressed the drill press a bit too hard and the drill bit moved to the side.....next time, I think that rather than simply use a "punch" I'll also drill a small hole (like for the screws) first before I try the wider drill bit.
I've ordered another piece of aluminium - but I think I'll use this effort to try out the chrome sheets (Bare metal foil), as I haven't used it before.
