I have to agree there - I did a mod on a IIcx to fit a 7100 Logic Board. I had to do substantial amounts of surgery where the ports came out at the back to allow it to fit and to allow access to all the ports.
I would also advise you have a set of course files and a a set of smaller fine files. The fine ones clog quickly so they really can only be used for touch up work, I used course metalwork files for removing material and the fine ones to square up corners and take out any marks.
I also agree and wanted to add that the gems and jewelry section of Ebay seems to be a decent place to get some tools. I picked up a set of a dozen or so small files of varying shapes and sizes for under $10. That was a couple of years ago but there didn't seem to be any shortage of them. It's also a nice place to get magnifier cups to hold in your eye when doing fine work, such as SM soldering or reading those tiny obscure part numbers off of components.
