And, if the CIM-U-LATOR or the Andy Mark planetary + FP work so much like the CIMs, why not just allow another CIM?
For ease I also suggest AM Planetary +FP also. Consider your withholding allowance, and you may be able to do it after ship.

If you want to do it now, I'd use 1-2 window motors and balance the arm. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=91461
