The second housing portion is provided with a second fastener mechanism sized to extend into the first housing portion cavity for engagement with the first fastener mechanism to fasten the first housing portion and the second housing portion together. A molded material is disposed within the cavity for engaging the fastened first and second fastener mechanisms for minimizing unfastening of the first and second fastener mechanisms.
