Fcastle, I think an 8" or even 9" screen would be directly workable with some modification to the stock bezel. The 10.4", however, is just too big in both directions. It looks like I'll have to completely rebuild the bezel. I've sliced the spare into the outer sections and the inner sections. It looks like I can whizwheel the duct portions of the bezel out, and begin to modify from there.

fixerofallthing, I'd seen your setup while cruising MP3Car. I like the built-in appearance, and now I notice one thing I missed before: I like the way you brought the screen buttons into the bezel. That's a nice touch, and an idea I may use.

Phatsacks, thanks for the encouragement. I hope to use the plastic welding technique discussed by turbocad6 in his posts. "Stellar" is a pretty high bar to reach on the first try, but I'll give it a shot.
