Is there a filler plate that works for a Siemens panel with a breaker interlock bracket installed? The bracket interferes with the filler plate installation and seems to be a common issue. Any clean and correct methods anyone found? Brand/part #?
 
You can see the breaker filler needs to be cut or modified in order to fit with the bracket extending into slot 2 & 4’s side.

Guess my idea won't work, never seen Siemens version of this device. Don't look like you can use a breaker at all opposite the one you are interlocking. Looks like either break tabs off and caulk/glue it in place or make your own custom sheet metal filler and rivet/screw it into place.
 
You might be able to use Garvin's universal filler plates if you cut off the locking flange on one side to clear the interlock device. One end of the filler plate there's an extended front surface with a peel-and-stick adhesive underneath to keep it from falling off. This particular filler plate is relatively thin without much extending backward that would need to be trimmed off. Whether it is thin enough to clear the interlock device I don't know, but it looks like it should based on what I see in the video at 1:38. Like kwired said you may need some glue, etc. to keep it in place.

If you get involved with the listing police they will tell you that you'll need to replace the cover. :oops:

Personally I would get two of those twist out KO's and figure out a way to reinstall them, maybe with rivets.
