Rcatech emulators on a R100RS

[Zwicky, Eric]

Thanks Mike.   I am going to go for it.   I might send them off to 
Racetech to do the work.   Since this is something new to me I'm not 
sure I can drill the new holes right (no drill press nor access to one).

Or I might tackle it myself.   I think it will depend on overall cost. 
  I don't mind spending the money on stuff I trust other people to do 
better than me.
