If I read that right, you want to remove the VMU slots from the controller. You'd be much better off just trying to mount the bulk of the controller where you wakted the VMUs. Otherwise you'd have to desoler them and than solder tons of wires from the controllers to the slots.

You do realize that the MGCD comes with a header for VMU slots right? What this means is that you can get a harness to plug into it that relocates the VMU just as you are describing.

I was planning on adding the little VMU w/screen in the middle of my CP flat. with a plexi cover... that way it will digitaly display the logo or Whatever is on the VMU's screen  ;D
