Hey Mark,

Have a look at SSI Custom Plastics.

When removing that ice maker make sure you carefully cap the associated water line as ours inextricably dribbled despite being capped and shut off (wanted to leave up there for future options).

Another option is to install a 12 volt fridge in place of the old ice maker - that’s what we did (with just a slight enlargement of the opening hole). It’s nice to have the extra fridge capacity - all of the time, or just when needed.

Thanks for the help. Added fridge is a great idea. What model did you install. Probably also double as a freezer

It is an Engel #SB47F-MK Fridge (w/a tiny ice cube compartment). I believe I only had to cut the opening a little bit wider. The only difficult part was making a flat base for it - the ice maker had a fiberglass base I decided to remove, then made 2 level cleats for the fridge to rest on, a bit tricky as the “floor” is slanted.
