I've always been tempted by the InnerTube kit, but it's rather costly, and if this M269C kit would fit the U87ai, I would expect the result to be as good or even better?
Would the challenge be mainly in the metal-work to hold the boards?

win.
characterstudios said:Hey, that's awesome, I'll settle for trying this with my U87ai! I'll start by just seeing if I can get the board itself to fit, if that doesn't work, I will of course send you back the kit!
I'll PM you to arrange for shipping (which I will pay for).

Thanks Dan!
Sorry for the crappy picture.
I think the whole thing might just fit, but will almost certainly have to get someone involved to do some machining on the metalwork for a new frame/connector that has a tiny bit more vertical space. Also need to figure out a way to make the top-connector to connect easily with the pins on the capsule head. Good times ahead, a perfect winter project
Great Keep me in the loop as the cold season goes,
Best,
