When I started this project the one thing I wanted to adopt as our guide was to keep everything as simple as possible. Everything! As it was pointed out to me last night, when it came to making some sort of cover for the monitor, I allowed myself to think in terms of matching the base rather than just doing what it would take to accomplish the goal, which is just to have some sort of protection for the monitor. So....we went back to the basics and the most logical answer is just to cut out a piece of fiberboard, glue a handle on it, tape the edges to make it smooth and that's it. This is much better. No one, especially me, was very satisfied with the cover I made. It was too big....bulky and took up too much room.
Now some might think that when the monitor is positioned upright, it would obstruct my vision to the right. As it turns out, the thickness of the monitor is thin enough and is directly in line with the post on that side of the dash, so it doesn't change any vision on that side.
This is probably the last change to the computer instal, ........unless I get any more suggestions.
Cheers,
Jack
Jack, You are a piece of work. You are supposed to take it easy and enjoy retirement instead o all these projects. Bring it by; I'd love to see it. Maybe you can figure out how to do something like that in my new Pontiac Solstice Coup.
