Yes I have quite a few parts I had to buy 5 or 10 of, especially the sockets.

What about the joystick? I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. I have access to a lot of great equipment so I was thinking of relocating the Mode1 and Mode2 buttons to the dash and making a tiny PCB just to mount the joystick. I also plan to design some sort of housing which would replace the shifter knob or mount just below it. I think the existing design with the buttons near the joystick is needlessly bulky and I don't think the buttons need to be nearly that accessible.
