Paragon timer 4004-71M replacement

[amati5]

So from my research this timer is no longer made and the direct replacement is Intermatic T104, just slightly different in the wiring (terminal 3 and 4 are swapped). I went to HD to pick one up but the T104 is quite wider. I am not sure if i’ll be able to fit it the old bracket and in my enclosure box. It looks like I have some room in the box but I’m not sure about mounting it if I can’t use the existing bracket. Below are some pics of the box and old timer/bracket. I removed the timer from the bracket (bottom 2 pics) to show how they work together. The T104 is not in the pic, didn’t want to buy yet.

Any suggestions?
Thx

Precision Multiple Controls Official Website - Your Source for Energy Saving Controls Precision Photocontrols, not sure you can replace with T-104 in that box, but try the precision timer CD104-TC

From Amazon’s description the PT is wider than Intermatic. I’ll buy the Intermatic from local HD to see how it works if not it’s easy to return. I also order the Intermatic bracket.

Use standoff's, drill 2-4 holes in back of sub panel that will line up with holes on new mechanism, and mount new mech in same spot as the paragons.

It looks like that’s what i’ll have to do. I think I did the same when I changed the other timer to Tork. But that will depend on if the there is enough space for the T104.

There is a simple intermatic mounting bracket available too, ( like the bracket next to the paragon mechanism in your pic ) you should have enough room in sub panel to mount the mechs, cutting out any metal brackets you no longer need in sub panel, and any trim work on the two holes on the inside cover that might interfere with new mechs switch, etc.
