In addition, it's non-parametric, and the mesh is sufficiently messed up that I can't run FeatureWorks on it (I'm using SolidWorks.) The only other one I can find is on 3dvia, and can only be downloaded as .3dxml, which SolidWorks can't import.

So, my question: does anyone have an accurate, parametric model that they'd be willing to let us use? Being correct is the top priority, followed by being parametric. SolidWorks format is preferable, but anything I can use, really. Surfacing is not my greatest skill, and I'm not very confident in my ability to turn out a precise model, which is important because our electronics group wants to start using CAD for the wiring layout. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Why not just make a "dummy" model?

Take the most important thing about electronic components, the mounting holes and just make a dummy model. 973 has their CAD up and has done a darn good job making dummy models. I believe there is a model of the Jaguars that worked perfectly for us during season.
