Heh, thanks for the kind words (and the SW quotes) Chris: You've got to figure out hte name/model/maker of that "drop-in" mouse wheel thingie. If you remember/figure it out let me know... before the ebay stamped =P Since the SW yoke kinda does 280 I'm thinking about modding a el crappo PC gameport steering wheel to be 360 degrees. Frosty -> I had considered suction cups but wasn't certain that ones that were "good" enough would be too difficult to remove =P (unless one used the snap and pull easy release suction cups AS-SEEN-ON-TV) My first inclination was to do a box to rest ON the control panel with some sort of nubs/grooves/sockets but didn't think I could pull it off (or find the right hardware) I also considered velcro but thought it would be unsightly (no snickering in the back please). 1up -> I did consider a bolt through method but didn't want any more holes/threads on my CP. The whole thing is a compromise... and you're right about the 45 degree angle. We'll see after play testing if it's stupid/annoying or not. Aceldamor --> well we'll see as it's probably a "working" prototype. If I break it - you'll hear it here. I don't know what happened to metzer's site =( FWIW I have no doubt the hangers are up to it (if they hold up cabinets or 100lb mirrors) The only "play" was a little bit of "flex" in the front mdf sheet of my actual CP box (kinda hard to explain) I can always go with the Dr. Evazan method ... "I'll be careful...." "YOU'LL be DEAD!" i.e. As mentioned earlier I need to add 1 or 2 more of those brackets. I also plan on adding some support from the shelving to the top of the CP (an padded L bracket) Question to the studio panel should I add 1 or 2 more brackets? i.e. X X X vs X X X X *shrug* BTW I got those clips at walmart ages ago to hang a mirro and never used 'em... if my memory serves me right (when I went to get more at HD last night they had everything but that style -- but I coulda been in the wrong aisle!) well maybe someone will take the cheezy idea and bring it to the next level... meanwhile I'm pantomiming SW on my cabinet because: I left my soldering iron in el segundo ... I gots to get it I gots to go get it... Rampy |

Did they offer on the site? maybe it could show in archive.org? I don't konw why i'm so interested if ivan stewart wheels regularly go for 10 beans on ebay --> it's just the thrill of the hunt to hack more products to mame use =) Hopefully some overstock/big lots type place bought out the inventory=P Thanks!
