(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi639.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu114%2Fspurgurgle%2Fspring%2520mod%2520off%2FIMGP2889.jpg&hash=7d86f2a7ee24e858cf0387b02b9cf0b599313092)

cheers robin.....
my psone sceen turned up this morning..... i may get some time tomoro to have  play with it n see what i can up with mounting wise........

im thinking of either having the screen flip up from the top.... (the easier way)

or more likely stripping the screen down as much as possible and mounting it in the top window...... only time will tell.......
