Original 1994 USA Gibson Les Paul Guitar Hardshell Case Combination Lock Repair

Original 1994 Gibson Les Paul Guitar Hardshell Case Repair
While living in Egypt and when my shipment arrived ( 2010 ) The Egyptian Customs broke into my case and ruined the Combination Lock ( But because I locked it by mistake, NEVER DO THAT ). I have been looking for a replacement and now I got one. So here you see the repair process.
This is an original 1994 USA Gibson Hardshell Case which is the home of my 1994 Les Paul, the one that was very much damaged during the floods at Marlow, UK, 2013...
Of course it looks much more shiny than the old ones in the case but...time will help!
