51x floor box modification

[tgs]

I'm about to modify one of my 51x floor boxes from 51x to dual VPR since I'm not using any 51x modules in the two buckets that they supply. I have a replacement transformer sorted so I just have to swap R4+6 and R8+9 as far as I've understood. I do have replacements in stock, the only thing is that they're 1/4W rather than 1/2W as is specified. I did a quick calculation with for 16V in this config and as far as I can see it's a fair bit under 250mW so it feels like it'd be stable, but I wanted to check with you guys before I proceed.

Do what is specified,
when stuff is specified is for a reason and helps us because we just have to follow that instead of second guessing

1/2w resistors are just cost a few cents...

They do but it's not just a matter of popping into the supermarket to buy them.
