Hello
A couple of weeks ago I had one of my 26 panels replaced as a result of a squirrel/fire. When the techs were done I came out to take a look and was not pleased. Since I had these installed a couple of years ago they were not able to source the same exact panel. That I completely understand but the problem was the the new one had a frame that was not the same thickness as all of the rest. As a result the techs could not use the Same T bolts to secure it. They ended up mounting it independent so it is lower and offset from the rest. Luckily it was an end panel but literally it sticks out like a sore thumb. I contacted the company and said that I was not happy with the look and can they conceive an idea to shim it up so it would fit with the rest. Their response was that was not an option. They said the T bolts ground the panel. I understand that but the only place the T bolts contact the panel is on the top. I have a pic to show of my original install. Are they correct or could I shim it up? I was thinking of 3D printing something out of PVC. If needed I can create something out of Al. Correct me if I am wrong.
