My first case mod!

[sbeehre]

Well i couldnt be happier with this one I've modded my A500 to accept a standard PC Floppy drive (converted to an Amiga 880kb one) and the main problem was the button hole being in a different location on the PC Drive. The solution was some Selleys knead it and a lot of patience and checking to make sure I got it right. Selleys kneed it is bloody brilliant for this kind of thing! it sets really hard and you can sand/shape it after 60 mins.

Lookin' good!

Selleys kneed it hugh? Going to have to get some of this and a can of spray paint and goto work!

thanks mate! yes exactly what i was thinking

thanks Cammy! the last thing to do is to make the button longer so it doesn't disappear into the case when you eject a floppy disk... I'm thinking either a blob of hot glue or a small block on the end of the button should do it.

@sbeehre,

I see under your avatar you're from Hamilton, NZ.  My sister and her husband live near Aukland for the last 15+ years or so and have become dual citizens.  She works for one of the local councils near their home and he is retired now.  They sailed there in their 42ft. long Ketch right after their marriage and my Sister received her Master's Degree in Marine Biology.

My Sister will be representing New Zealand (again) with her running, biking and swimming this Summer, but this time it will be at the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii in October.  She is 52 years old now and still competing (in her age group).  The high point of her athletic career was when she was invited to participate in the 10k exhibition race at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.  I got to take her bag out to the track infield with her during the Games and see many famous athletes.

I would love to visit New Zealand again soon.  I did not get to visit the South Island last time I was there.

what a coincidence about the Iron Man as my Dad is off to Hawaii in October to compete in it to! he qualified in Taupo earlier this year.
