This can be done without hacking the rear panel (at least on an R390A).  I 
made some simple aluminum adapter plates that allowed a Corcom (or equiv.) 
filter to be mounted inside the rear panel.  It helped to extend the 
rounding on the edges of the IEC end of the cable beyond the factory-made 
length because it lets the plug enter the filter just a bit further, but 
that was not a big deal (and would work okay even without doing that). 
Having a 90-degree IEC plug on the rear of the radio was kind of nice.
