    Looks better than it was before so thats a bonus, Just keep an eye out for flex.

    And for future reference, you can pop off the bottom case remove the Free spin Push button thingy, Fashion up a cover plate and mount them on the flat side from the bottom Up as seen here.

    Also if you click around my Photobucket you'll see how i drilled the motor for the feedback.

    Thanks Nick! I was afraid to open mine since I had no idea what it might look like and I didnt want to ruin the motor. These motors are great, and I am glad you have already had experience with them to be able to give me some ideas.

    I would pop them open regardless and take a peek at the grease and what condition its in. Mine was rather gross to be honest so swapped it out for fresh.

    It went well. Started 9th, finished in 5th. no incidents at all. Seat held up fine through 50 laps, although I did identify a joint that I will need locknuts. very comfortable and natural feeling. It really helped the consistency having the extra sensory feedback.
