Somebody dimensioned their star wars cockpit

Well, I DID take a pic, but had a late delivery and left the camera at work.  I :banghead:  'll post it tomorrow...

The cabinet has a small bit of damage on the very bottom corner behind the seat on the player's left.  As both sides are the same, I will base my measurements off of the right side and y'all can just mirror it for the left.  In fact, I will do this for both sides, just measure the right, except to get the proper placement and size for the coin door on the left.

I've also noticed that the canopy rails are composed of 3 separate pieces connected together, with 3 pieces of t-molding underneath and one large piece on top.  I will remove the canopy and seat assemblies to get accurate measurements, as well as document how they go together. 

The art on the sides of the canopy are inset into beveled shapes.  The sides are angled into the shapes so that the flat area with the art is slightly smaller than the outside edges.  I will attempt to get accurate measurements of both the inside and outside so y'all can judge the proper angle between the two sizes.

I don't know how long it's been since anyone sat in one of these, but I'm 6'1" and found it a bit cramped for my legs when sitting in it.  Hmm....modify the plans a bit to get a little more room?  Dunno....

Don't know if it was because of the camera or not, but remember the images of the US and Irish ones.  Remember how one had red trim and the other yellow trim around Darth Vader?  Well, this one has orange trim... :dunno

I know I'm going to measure the wood where the bezel and CP mount, but what about needing measurements of the bezel and CP itself?  Or will pics be okay?

Pics probably won't be posted until sometime Fri or Sat of next weeek.

If anyone has any other comments, suggestions, ideas or concerns before I get started, let's hear them.....

I have a control panel here to measure off of so you don't have to worry about that.

 My bezel is for an upright though and somebody here had mentioned that they were different than the cockpit version somehow.  I don't remember exactly what the difference is.  Something about the bottoms.

The mounting board for the both of them would be nice.  The pictures of the torn apart cab online showed it having a few cut-outs and angles.

Some basic dimensions of the bezel would be nice if you have the time, I'm wondering if the upright's bezel could be modded to work with the cockpit.  If its just a matter of length i could make a fiberglass copy and add in the extra inch or so.

Here's a cockpit on ebay. The seller in Longmont, Colorado (not me) says he has "lots of high resolution pictures I can send upon request"

So who's getting the pics and posting them here?
