Manuel,
I have previously thought about building a standard Tread into a Serpac H67 to match my Pint/Pimeta that are in H65/H67 cases. Similar problem of space although you are taking it even further.
I came to the conclusion that the best way to bring AC in is just zip cord with a strain relief. There just wasn't room for an IEC or 2 wire inlet jack and something had to give. The next step was to find a fuse holder that would fit. Have you thought about fusing?
An alternative might be to use an AC wart, removing the transformer from the enclosure and freeing up space for more capacitance and whatnot. It isn't as elegant and it gives you a 3rd "thing" to tote around but it would give you room to max out the supply.
What is the battery configuration in your Pint?
