Michele Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 After almost 5 years of sitting on the shelf, my custom console went in place thanks to a sparky mate who had pity of me and wired my VDO gauges. CB is yet to be rewired, but everything should be functional again in the next weeks. Just wanted to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Weird, I'm quite sure I did attach a photo...here it is again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Very nice! Have taken a look at your website, any chance we could see some more pictures of the cubby box? Thanks... Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi Matt, thanks, I just went down to the cave and took a pic for you...sorry for the quality, but there's no light in the box and it's raining outside, oh such a nice day... Wiring here and there in the cab is still a mess I hope to make better one day (wishful thought!), and the EGT screen is still running on "temporary" bracket and wiring... Every toggle switch has its own light, which illuminates when the switch is "on" (well, some are not in use, like those for the lockers). Both the panels have backlights, the CNC machined writtings are readable at night when I turn the beams on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Excellent thanks! Was going to fit some window-switches to the cubbybox (like a Disco) - good to see am not the only one comtemplating it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 I love military/airplane style toggle switches I'll probably fit 3 Carlings in place of the stock ones on the left corned of the dash (fog light, emergency and defog) when I'll have the chance, so I can find them at a glance when travelling at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I love the 'aircraft' look too, but unless you have access to a CNC machine to create back-lit panels....oh, wait, you do!! :-) Carlings are reasonable quality and popular for a reason, i.e. they work and can be used at night! That's what I'm going for anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I like the Carlings as well, but a row of them would give me a washing machine feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
