Yes that was the idea. I think you really only need to hack the body in extreme cases or if you really don't care about chopping it up. Originally I was making a hook that basically went up and over and the xtal would have sat in the same place as when you would hack the body and just solder straight to the holder.

The reason I didn't was because the xtal protector(the highest part of the cover of the chassis) was still low enough to clear the body. At that point I dumped the idea of making a hook and just went 90 off the top.
