Now the down side. I blind drilled my holes and I must have had the bit to far to the inside of the left and right sides, so when I drilled and mounted the wood nuts, I could only get three screws to hold it in. If ultimarc would include a paper template with the unit, you would not have to blind drill and get the spacing right.
But 3 screws hold it so tight I can't se why i would need the 4th. But when i rebuild the CP I will get it right.

Just a comment, we would include a template but I am not sure if this would be more accurate than the method we mention in the instructions of drilling pilot holes right through the actual mounting holes in the trackball itself. If this is what you did, and it still was not correct, or found this method not possible for some reason, then maybe it indicates we should produce a template.

Ginsu Victim:
I could see that not turning out right if he used too small of a drill bit and was off-center, or drilled at too much of an angle.
Drilling through the mounting holes should work fine if done proper.
Ummon:
You could also get a very thin marking pen or something.
Ginsu Victim:
When I installed my U360s, I just took the mounting plate off and clamped it to the CP, then used a silver sharpie to mark the wholes. Guess that's too thick for this, but a thin pen or pencil like Ummon said would work great. (Or you could even just use a long, sharp piece of a wire hanger and scratch the marks on...)
Ummon:
Well, rather than that, you could use a thin punch or a long nail.
