This is EXACTLY what I did, with those very M*****s terminals. I used a
double faceplace, and mounted four sets of terminals on it.

If you choose to try this, (and the result is very acceptable IMHO), then I
would definately reiterate the point about being very careful when you
drill
the faceplate - it's very brittle, and very easy to crack. - the same
arises
when tightening the terminals in the plate.

The faceplates are sooo cheap, just buy two of them anyway!
