However, if a neutral is in place, and it is bonded to the cabinet, in

If it is bonded to the cabinet it is no longer a neutral it is a bond
(technically) regardless of the wire color. If the circuit comes from a sub
panel
you had better not connect a neutral to the cabinet if a bond wire is already
in place. That would be a violation. It should NOT be done even if it
originates from a main panel. If you are going to do this kind of work on
your
own, why not do it correctly? In case of a problem if it was determined that
something was done wrong the insurance companies will clink to that like glue
and not want to pay. They are always looking for a way out!
