Hey Brian, I wanted to read your trakball info too, but I get a 403 error with the link you gave. :(

: Check out my site and go to the modified control panel link at the bottom. I have a write-up on how I installed my trackball in 3/4" wood and 1/8" plexi. It should help a little.
: Game on!! Brian
: : I just ordered a trackball 2 1/4" from Happs and am trying to figure out how I will mount it. I have 5/8" wood and a 1/8" Plexiglas control panel. It would seem that I will need to do something other than drill a hole for the ball. Maybe I will need to cut a square out of the control panel, mount the trackball to the trackball plate then mount the plate on top of the Plexiglas.
: : I have had no problem cutting the Plexiglas with a 1 1/8 hole bit but I am thinking I will need to cut a different type hole for the trackball and would like tips from those who have done this. Tom A?
: : Thanks.
