Sounds good. This is the one I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/320948568171...84.m1423.l2649 I purchased it last year when it was cheaper but its still kinda pricey. It's the smallest one I found.

Thanks and yes much cheaper thats why i figured I would do it. I think i figured out how to make it return to normal but i still havent tested it yet. Im busy installing a second battery, studying for finals, and track practice. Hopefully this christmas break I'll have it done. Definitely will be making a tutorial

Well if when you flip the switch the actuators return to their previous position you could add some sorta hook on the end of them to attach to the din plate so it pulls back maybe? That's the crudest/simplist thing I can think of off the top of my head.

The problem is I have to have a slot for the tablet to slide into. So when I hook the linear actuator up it only pulls the back portion of the din to the original position. I hook the actuator up to where the arrow is pointing. This is my second attempt so thats why the din looks raggedy. no where close to finished

I think i might have figured something out. I added more fiberglass to make a pocket.
I need a lot more sanding and bondo though. Work in progress lol
