Yea, I know! I cannot get the mounting kit in the UK though (not through any site I saw - Gremlin, Ultimarc etc) - so would have been another 2 week wait from the States. I really had to crack on though as I normally have a busy job and dont get much time, but took a week off part of which with the intention of getting this done.

Would have been gutted to have to wait to do any more to the cab.

Anyway, it works ok for me - tried some test spins for Golden Tee and more frantic 'Missile Command' type spins and it feels rock solid. I dont even mind the plate, but the silver bolts are a bit  :-X

Thanks for that!  :) As I mentioned, I didnt think I could do a CPO justice, but I like how it turned out and with the silver t-molding on, it really looks smart!

Mounting my TB on my current panel was the hardest thing to get right on my whole cab so far. I ended up making a jig from cardboard and even that took a few trys.

I'm with Santoro, the artwork is looking great. Good luck on the rest of the build.

FrizzleFried:
I'd be more concerned with the stench from the catbox next to the cabinet than the way you mounted the trackball...

pboreham:
LOL.... aint that the truth!!!

Problem of having a small room. Once everything is finished I'm having a shuffle around!  :blah:
