Adding Meter Main Panel??


my uncle wants me to add a meter main for his addition he's doing for his rental. the existing panel is a dual meter panel and i'm going to add a third panel to the existing, but i was wondering if the existing panel has an extra lug to tap off the line side for the new panel?? i have not seen the panel in person yet. i have attached a pic of what the set-up looks like. the pen marks is what i plan to do to make the new panel fit.

Doubt it very much. You'll likely end up changing this to a 3-gang horizontal meter-main. They're not nearly as expensive as you'd think.
