meanwhile, I've been playing with a bit of cardboard and trying something out..
would you believe measured pretty much freehand (guessing a bit) and pumped that into solidworks as a sheet metal part, fitted perfectly first time, that's a bit of luck
perpective makes it look a bit off centre but it's bang in the middle
trying not to have it sticking out too far, but allowing space for wiring and a nice viewing angle trading off against the angle of the bullhead.. pretty much decides the positioning for you really
I know you can get really flat cheap panel things but I want something with a decent amp built in
and then 20mins of mucking around with ms paint
it's a bit of an eighties look but with a modern screen, I might have to smooth out some of those edgy corners a bit though
I'm thinking spot welded or even pop riveted centre section from folded sheet (easy to revert to original) and two separate side sections for easier removal / access, all covered in some sort of leather / pleather / vinyl covering to tie it all in together
