It was apparent from the start that this would be a tight fit, so some of the video's black side-wall had to go (Dremel-a-like tool).
Having tested the toaster without it's case, I didn't think it a good idea to leave a sheet of black polystyrene under it, and some bits of this would have to be removed anyway (Dremel-a-like).
There's a thin steel sheet underneath the plastic floor.

The toaster has two chrome racks which hinge at the bottom, and are pushed central at the top so that they grip the bread in a central position - at varying thicknesses.

I fixed the top rack at it's thickest setting, and moved the bottom rack to "very thin". The overall effect is to move the toast off-centre and more towards the top in the finished machine.
