Tom, is this your BOSS 5 you are talking about?
If I remember correctly, the counter is the only thing that is in the casting you refer to. Without the counter, the casting is merely a cover. You could simply make a plate out of aluminum to replace the entire casting (I've seen pictures of somebody using their BOSS with the casting/counter completely removed and exposing the belt). That way, you still have all the counter hardware if you later want it back.
