Following. Do me a favor and when you do the RAD CALS document it. I'm interested to know if you put the front piece on first and then the sides butt up to the front piece making the corner. And for the head do then side cals do you literally line up the top corners and ensure the top is flush and stick it down? I haven't seen a video with the new style RAD CALS installation and would enjoy to hear your story on them. I have a TAF cabinet I plan on using them on.

I've been waiting for this piece. Looks great!
A few questions.
1.) Do you feel that you shouldve put the front piece on first and then butted the sides up to it?
2.) Does the back box come with top and sides or just sides?
3.) What did you use to cut the flipper button holes with?
4.) Why in the hell would Mirco make a RADCAL that has to be cut like you had too is just beyond stupid and even worse is his video makes it look like a stick it and forget it install but clearly there's more to it than that. In your case a whole.lot more. I have a TAF I want to do but that's a crap ton of work.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Your first pic of the front, the carriage bolt - it appears there's distortion around it. Is that to be expected and unavoidable due to the thickness or is it an "oops" on your part from over tightening trying to pull the square portion of the carriage bolt through/down? I dont mean to sound over critical, since someone is actually documenting the installation it's great to have all the details and all the (dont do this) type of stuff to save the rest of us from repeating.

And yep, I fully agree about knowing ahead of time what you're getting into would be nice. In your specific case, I wonder if that's a strictly a system 11 thing?
