The problem with the original MK2 fascia design is that it was designed to be injection moulded and doesn't lend itself to being machined from solid at all well. The cycle times and subsequent finishing by hand make it somewhat unviable. I did start to design an alternative fascia, buttons & knob but the project's been shelved for the time being due to lack of 'Copious amounts of free time'. I've attached a ZIP file containing some images of my design so far. CruzThs does have a copy of my CAD files but when we were last in contact he said he had been, and would be, very busy with other stuff for a while. I don't know whether he's made any progress since then. I will do some work on it as and when I get time. I still need to do some work on the Handle mountings and Knob fixing. I'm sure there must be other ppl on this board with more 3D Solid Modelling skills than me who could do a better job and quicker too.

Anyway, I know all this doesn't help anyone much but I thought I'd chip in.
