The base section comprises front and rear housing sections that can be selectively assembled together and split apart without removal of the bracket system. A lock mechanism is arranged near the top or near the bottom of the cover. A first lock receptacle is arranged on the base section for receiving the lock mechanism when the cover is engaged with the base section and the lock mechanism is arranged near the bottom of the cover and a second lock receptacle is arranged on the bracket system for receiving the lock mechanism when the cover is engaged with the base section and the lock mechanism is arranged near the top of the cover.
