That'd be a tough call to make as I really only cut holes in it as opposed to complete cuts through sections. It appears that nothing really depends on the top of the of the drive, with the exception of the holdermagnet, no components/parts or otherwise touch the top while it is in use. Everything seems to be mounted or based off the sides and bottom which are secured firmly to the rest of the system.

In my opinion the top is nothing more than a dust cover and something to hold the magnet while the drive is empty. Of course, that's just an opinion, and I could be very very wrong.

Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll try and adjustment later this week and let you guys know how it went.
