Title: mounting a betson trackball???
Post by: tenex2mg on November 27, 2003, 10:39:44 am

Got a question for any and all...I picked up a betson/imperial  2.25'' usb trackball and installed it into my cab with no problems.  However my home-made mounting plate was very functional just not too asthetically pleasing :).  So i picked up a 2.25'' Happs trackball mountingkit...and now the 4 pilot holes don't line up :(...any thoughts?

thanx,

That's a good guess, my bad for not elaborating...according to their catalog and the guy behind the counter they (betson) don't make a mounting kit for the 2.25'' trackball...any other guesses?

thanx,

Goto a machine shop with your home made tb plate...  Then tell them to make it in aluminum...  then get a can of black enamel spray paint if you really want to get fancy...

It shouldn't cost that much. and would definatley not take to long..
