What laser are you using, Keith?  I think I remember the thread about it, but I can't find on my first search.

 

BTW:. I really like the "Habudyne Industries," very cool :)

I haven't been tweaking it much, just doin' stuff. I find it very useful.

EXACTLY what I needed them to be. Huge thanks to Tom and Keith for making it happen.

I'm going to stain the adapter plates to match my dash wood as a silly little touch and possibly replace the zinc hardware too but then they'll go in for good later this week. smiley

In reply to 93gsxturbo :

It's a generic K40 - there are lots of them on Aliexpress. I bought mine via Amazon because it wasn't much different with shipping and it gave me a little more consumer protection. It was called an "Orion Motor", which may or may not be related to the "OMTech" ones you can buy today. I paid $400 for mine (before upgrades), looks like they're about $470 now.

I predict this thread will resurface every few years when someone finds it on Google looking for the same adapter.
