Situation: Teenage kid jumps off chair and whacks ceiling fan.
The fan itself is OK, but the light kit is toast. The housing for the pull chain switch, light fixtures etc. was one of those peanut-brittle metal boxes. I tried to fix it using some metal brackets, but as I drilled the second hole the thing shattered in my hands.
I looked for a new light kit, but there are no real good options. I need a low profile one, and the only one I found for this fan (Hunter) is pretty ugly. The other option is a whole new fan.
Any idea where to find a replacement box? It's about 4" x 1" x 1". I looked at the local hardware stores but nothing seemed to be a good fit.
