CoryBee:
I am not sure what you mean on either of these options....granted it is late so I am tired
cut a longer cp?
PL1:
Diagram #1 - Current CP. Trackball base is too long and hangs over the near edge.
Diagram #2 - Cut a larger CP, additional area shown in light blue.
Diagram #3 - Cut a CP with a bulge, additional area shown in light blue.

This is why I love you scotty, going the extra mile! :applaud:
Bahh! Number 3 looks like the hardest to implement and make look decent....
Cutting a larger control panel is an option....but then there will be a small space where the tmolding wont be...unless I curve it or something
I am thinking cutting the tail off this thing (if possible without damaging the circuit board) is the best option
Thanks for the help, if you have any more ideas let me know.

Did you already cut the t-molding to length?
If so, use it on your next build -- which should start in 2 days given your build rate. :laugh2:
Cutting the tail off creates two challenges:
1. Getting the chopped tail smooth and comfortable
2. Routing the CP to mount the trackball
Instead of chopping the tail, you could mount the trackball using screws through the trackball base. (green)
Snug nuts/lockwashers (red) to the bottom and put the base back on the trackball.
Drill through the CP (yellow) and countersink. Attach nuts (blue) to hold the trackball down.
You can leave the tail hanging over the edge if you want to use your current CP or you can cut a new one.
