BTW, I can't find anything in article 408 prohibiting cutting a new hole. And this seems to indicate soldering the L-shaped hole shut would be acceptable:
NEC 2005 408.7 Unused Openings. Unused openings for circuit breakers and switches shall be closed using identified closures, or other approved means that provide protection substantially equivalent to the wall of the enclosure
What kind of customers do you work for?
Are you a licensed electrician?
I can not imagine trying to charge money for a cut and soldered up cover on a new installation.
If they wanted it cobbled together they could have done the work themselves.
Alan gave you great advice you should take it.
