This may be a dumb suggestion (oh wait, its from me, it MUST be a dumb suggestion ;-) ... but have you tried using an old accupoint cover and gluing it in place? Alternatively, your local electronic hobbyists store may sell switches with suitably sized actuators that you can cut off and adapt ... I can't quite see the switch itself in those pics you posted (and I'm not about to try and pull mine apart!) but I think its a pretty standard enclosed membrane switch so a suitable actuator shouldn't be too hard to come by. Of course, the thing that bemuses me is how the heck did you get that button off in the first place? >Here's my libby in action : > http://www.xsintrk.net/lib_truck . >I've upgraded to a 12G drive and upload music to her via wireless LAN.

A few questions if I may ... 1: How do you get around the problem of the screen going unreadable in bright sunlight? I notice you don't have any visor or glare shield over the screen. 2: How do you get around the heat problem? I'd imagine the airflow around it wouldn't help much in the heat of summer ... 3: Are you powering it through a proper voltage increasing circuit or are you just jacking it into the car's 13.8v power supply? Had any problems either way? 4: I notice your vehicle appears to be an offroad vehicle. Exactly how big is this rubber pad that you're using for shock isolation and what is the nature of the mounting? Has it caused any problems yet? 5: How do you reduce its attractiveness to being stolen?!?! Or isn't the car breakin rate as much a problem over there? :-) - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
