The electronics tray is identical to what I installed in my first R2-D2. It required a bit of tweaking to make fit but I has worked out great. For the second R2, with the newer frame, its just a matter of bolting it in!
The shelf piece required a bit more modification since the door bread pans in each tall door interfere.
After some diligent cutting with a reinforced cutting disc on the Dremel, I was able to trim them down to fit.
Here's the finished product installed....
Originally this piece was going to be used for a 2-3-2 center ankle mechanism using a NPC 2212 motor, the same motors that propel the foot drives. As such, each side is trimmed away for a swing arm and pre-cut holes to attach the NPC motor. However it never went beyond the experimentation stage.
For my uses, first and foremost, its a place for R2's netbook to sit! As for anything beyond that, its too early to tell.
