Hi Swisco,
Looking to replace the 2320-1061. Very close to your 82-218 yet note the 3" 1/8 length of original. Please advise replacement part?
Thank you,
Josh

Hey, Josh. Comparing your "face" height with the 82-218, they seem to be very close. I do believe if the 82-218 was a little taller for the opening your could use a rat tail file to open the cut out just a bit. The other measurement you should be looking at is the mounting hole locations. See if your mounting hole locations match the 3-11/16" on the 82-218. If they do, then I think it's our best bet.

Also look at the stainless steel version, the 82-243.
