Alright so... I have made a panel what goes on to the centre console in the bottom or top radio hole

The way I did this is...

Measure the hole you are wanting to cover

Get some 1.5-2mm of acrylic and cut out the shape

Get some thin card or anything with a colour of your choice

Glue those two together

Then glue them into the preferred hole

Then... once it's all dry you can start drilling into the acrylic to fit the switches

I have chosen 5 switches and tried to get them in line as much as I could. Also the tip of the switch lights up when it's on the "on" position :D

And there you go... took me about an hour and half and I am very happy with the outcome

I know it's a very basic thing to do but I thought I would share it with everyone :)

Finished product

Are you ever going to remember what they do?

When they are wired up I am putting labels above the switches :)

Good work, what are the switches for? I want something similar but don't need as many.

One is going to be a fuel cut off switch. Others I will find use for but haven't thought yet haha

No2? :d

Fuel cut, that's a good idea, might have to borrow that idea lol.

Maybe a battery cut off for storage, and if you wanted you could wire up your lights to them???

Looks cool! But I have to ask, did you drop some red paint? :lol:

Hahaha I went for the spider Web look :D

Good job I think! :thumbup1:

For the labelling it's clear you need a dymo in your life :no:.

If it were me I would laser cut/engraved the labels, would look very neat
