Here is a shot of the other side of the firewall on a 7A. The horizontal angle bracing along the bottom of the recess makes extending the recess very difficult. I would think the shorter gov. would be the best solution.

I do not believe mine has the bottom angle. And I know it does have the "x" bracing on both sides. Making a lower extension seems like an easy way or what about removing the recess box, cutting another 1.5" off the bottom and sliding the box down. Then all I would have to fabricate would be a 1.5 " top plate.

The only problem with that solution is the holes not ligning up. Other than that it would work fine.
