"Only problem I am facing now is underneath switch motors. Longest one I've found is from Peco and its still not long enough. Probably going to have to cut out a portion of the plywood to make em work" <br /> <br />I use a 2.5 x 2.5 square of 1/8 " masonite (hardboard) to mount the Tortoise on with #6 x 1/4" sheet metal screws. (This makes replacement of theTortoise easy, if ever needed.) I replace the spring wire arm with a longer, larger diameter wire to go through the 2" of foam I use. I use either Liquid Nails or Polyseamseal All-Purpose Adhesive Caulk to attach the masonite to the foam. This gives ample time to position the Tortoise (which I've already prepositioned and tested). No problems so far. <br /> <br />Tony
