Heres some pics. Let me know if you need any others for the photoshopping...

to clarify.. i want the switch mounting hole, right on the bezel plastic. (to make disconnecting the switches easier) The passanger shot was just for mental reminder imaging. The passanger window switch won't be necessary, since the driver one already has a passanger switch included. Both locks need to be there, as well as the power mirror switch. The locks can be mounted horizontal or vertical, that doesn't matter.

I didn't know what kinda shot you'd need to use... so i took a bunch of different ones.

also... the switch plate isn't used.. so if that space gets take up... so be it. I'd actually prefer that.

off topic but cherry whered u get that switchplate?

cherrington17 · 08-17-2009, 10:16 PM

custom made. 2x 1/16th inch aluminum L plates screwed together on the sides to make a U (scuffed them and put epoxy between just for a little added strength)

drilled the center out with a dremel engraving bit, and backlit with leds. then just drilled the holes for the switches.

i had to grind the sides a little to get it to fit properly.. but it was pretty basic, just time consuming (espicially the engraving part)

kinda form a plate like that so it flows and mold the switches in

cherrington17 · 08-17-2009, 10:53 PM

thats the reason i want the HVAC lower, and switches higher. I won't be able to hit those with my car in park.

AleroDrime · 08-17-2009, 10:57 PM

how about molding it to the right of the shifter plate were i have my rocker switch

cherrington17 · 08-17-2009, 10:58 PM

not enough room for all the switches...

AleroDrime · 08-17-2009, 11:03 PM

ok might be hard to reach but is molding into the bottom of the cubby possible

placing the mirror one furthest in there i couldnt be too bad, how often do you adjust those anyways, i did it when i first got my car and have needed to since

cherrington17 · 08-17-2009, 11:04 PM

yeah.. no.

move the HVAC down just a couple of inches, put the cig lighter on the horizontal part just forward
and to the right of the shifter, and put the switches above the HVAC controls into a recessed
pocket with a flip open door. to hide them. like i door like i have in the scoob... seen here behind the
stick... you just press on it a little and it pops open... then close it when not is use.

cherrington17 · 08-17-2009, 11:10 PM

ion came up with this.

i kinda like it. but the wiring would be difficult. the passanger lock isn't a straight plug in, its on the side.

it may be possible to rewire a passanger lock to replace the wiring on the driver's one though. i'd have to go count wires....

natedawg9640 · 08-17-2009, 11:23 PM

i'll take a shot at it tomorrow... i don't have time tonight. so don't do making a decision yet! lol

cherrington17 · 08-17-2009, 11:40 PM

i'm definitely not deciding until i have an absolute perfect planned out shot.

the door isn't necessary either. I don't need them hidden.
