HELP...Looking for a tutorial on how to install Betson/Imperial Trackball...

[sirhcman]

Looking to do this without a mounting plate, I did some searches of the board but wasnt too successful. I heard that you dont need a mountin kit but I was curious if someone documented how to install one without it because I am very perplexed on how it would even be possible. Any help is appreciated

THANKS

Well the mounting plate is the esaiest most straightforward way....

here's how eightbit did it

Basically you cut out the football shape to a tight fit and create some sort of support underneath to support the tball... Then cover the top with artwork/vinyl/contact paper (well look at the link w/picture instead of my rambling explanation)

I'd strongly recommend using a mounting plate if you want an "easy" way to do it... but there's some excellent pics of how others have done it sans mounting plate =)

good luck!
