Oh I see. No actually, I didn't run into any brittle plastic in there. The ballast I was working with had been modified to use a more modern connector so the previous owner had zip-tied the plug in place and the starter and cap to the plug, so aside from the switch clips which were metal and the grommet for the power cord there wasn't much to get brittle and break on me!

I keep getting interest from people who might like to do the same thing, so if you guys are serious about making your own mod kits here's the details:
- 2x 80mm fan grills like this: http://www.rpelectronics.com/cfg-80m...ger-guard.html - compact AC/DC 12v power suppy like this one: http://www.rpelectronics.com/rpr-126...2vdc-0-6a.html - female 2 conductor socket to supply power to the AC/DC adapter. I used this one and soldered leads to it: http://www.rpelectronics.com/31-040-...ket-black.html - 80mm cooling fan like this one: http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=89...facture=Vantec The key pieces though are the end plates. I also made a heat shield for the relocated starter but seeing how cool this thing runs I don't think it's necessary. My company will do custom parts like this, but it's pricey for one-offs. What I would suggest is for one of you to take orders from the others and get in touch with me, I'll then pass you on to a sales contact at my company. I'll provide you with all the info that you'll need to pass on to have them made. I've already done 90% of the work on the back end so there will be very little overhead involved in setting up this new product. Obviously the higher the number the cheaper they will be to knock out. Here's a shot (not the best angle) of the relocated starter. I drilled the side panel and mounted it in place there with a couple #10 SS bolts.   Last edited by jostafew; 11-04-2011 at 05:45 AM.
