if the price is right, sign me up for one
how big are the holes? i think you should do small pilot holes, maybe 1/8", then let people drill them out to what size they need.

is there enough room to run the wiring above the headliner?
the guy i got this one from already ran me a load of 20 of them. 1/2 inch holes and all. they are laser cut and he had time open so i just said fuck it, go for it.
im doing the wiring tonight for them. i am using some 9 core, 22 guage wire that is used for low voltage house wiring(12 volt go figure). the 22 guage wiring will only be the controll wires for relays. to get above the liner i am just gona run the wire in the hole already in there for the visor clips. im seeing where i can get this bent up and welded professionally so im hoping for cost right around 20 bucks. i dont want to make any money off of it, so we'll see how much the sheet metal shop will charge me.

A couple questions -
1) Material - what are you using? Just wondering how to coat it...
2) Future cuts - any possiblity of redoing the switch holes to use the little "locator slot" found on the mounting shank? It would need a small tab at TDC 1/16"x1/16" for that to work...
Just asking. I don't mind getting something like that in the white if I know how to coat it when it gets here...

Yeah - HRS is easy to deal with and to cover, so no worries there.
Actually, tho, the locator isn't so much a groove as a "tooth" projecting into the hole. The groove is found on the threaded collar of the switch.
Specification for the mounting hole for common toggle switches (single-point mount) is 15/32" with an internal "tooth"/projection of 1/16" at TDC of the opening to prevent rotation of the switch. I know there are a couple companies that make punches that will do the hole from a pilot, but most I've seen are up around $150-200. I may try to make one in machine shop in the next couple quarters...

I really like the switch panel, but I don't have any use for half that many switches.

I got one from Deke, we are both doing them up Saturday so we will have finished pics. I am using some of the holes for indicator lights for when switches are on to let me know I think.
