Cutting through the ashtray was more unpleasant than I thought it would be. I thought it would be plastic, without thinking about it, but because you could be putting hot cigarettes in there it's a fire resistant material like Bakelite or something. I used a dremel tool with a cutting wheel and it spews this annoying green dust in the air. Probably a good idea to avoid breathing that in. I think I may try to get another ashtray and get one of the new models with dual temp. Without the battery pack I bet it would be very easy to get it mounted. You can't remove the frame completely very easily because the screen has a couple layers that need to be securely pressed together in order for it to function. There are like 10 screws around the perimeter of it pressing it tightly. : does the compass seem to be pretty accurate? After I hit reset it does but then once in a while it seems way off but then I remembered that there are some electronics mounted on the battery pack which may be shifting around under hard corners. I need to secure that to be able to say for sure.
: I have carbon fiber on my ash tray now but I could get a junkyard one and try this maybe :)
