I have some extra lights and other electrical item that require a switch.
Not much room on the GU,I dont want to convert my ash tray lid.
There are 3 near the hand brake but a bit small for Carling style rocker switches.
So I have come up with a new switch panel, you can velcro or use double sided tape
what ever floats your boat. Im going to get some laser cut with 5 switch holes as knock outs
so if you only use 3 switches so be it.
The pen shows the position of where it will go.
PM if you are interested in one.

My lower panel you're talking about has a Red carling switch for the fridge and
a double Baintech USB socket and two cig sockets. Behind the centre console I have cig and merit plugs
but think the cig plugs are out dated now, so I may change it to a double USB for rear passenger to use.
I think there is an alumium extrusion with the shape I want.

Ok I've drawn it all up for the laser cutter, it'll be made from brushed stainless 1.6mm
It will provide for 4 switches via knock out plates. No Idea on price but Im not out to buy the Queen Mary

Not sure Kallen the cut just for the switch is 21 x 38 the switch holder a tad bigger eh.
When the Laser cutter starts up again Im getting a 3 switch panel cut that fits down
the hand brake area,I'll cut it from black perspex
