Yes I have a general area for the choke and will try PJs trick.

Although not specified, what ever you do, be sure not use any 15A. rated IEC . Use Hubbell 20 A. rated ( Michael Percy ) IEC as a minimum, or better ....Go to Chris VH's web pages and make yourself up decent ( 12 AWG etc ) power cords, perhaps his Flavor 2. " Duster " on the Cable Forum of AA often offers suggestions on cost effective approaches. Have fun.

I have already drilled to use a M12 SVT type strain relief for the power cord.
I usually file for IEC sockets but didn't feel like it this time around.
Other then the occasional convenience and looking a little better, I don't really need the IEC socket.
So the pigtail does away with the connection all together.
This does limit the wire to SVT sizes, in my case 18awg as the 16awg SJT wires I had for the IEC sockets don't fit through the SVT pigtail.
I will check it out, although I don't put much credence beyond the usual engineering as far as wires go. I am more concerned with conforming to codes as much as possible.
I mean realistically if one felt the need for 12awg wiring it would make sense to not use the IEC at all, but then comes the challenge of trying to safely secure that thick of wire to the chassis.
Cheers
As you wish.
I am not an IEC fan. Read the Percy catalog on 20 A. IECs, and cable asylum.
On the build I am working on now, I hope to use a Neutrik PowerCon 32 A. device, in lieu of a HUBBELL 20 A. IEC. Look up Thorsten Loesch'S post on that part's use.
