My switch plate idea

I'm going to be installing a set of Rigid spot lights on a set of cbi ditch mounts, and I couldn't figure out exactly where I wanted to mount the switches. I wanted something out of the way, but easily accessible. I also wanted to keep the ability to turn them on individually. I'm still working on it, but am pretty pleased with my progress so I thought I would start a thread.

Of course I started with a cardboard template.



Then traced it to some plexiglass and cut/bent it to shape.



Bunch of trimming, and a minor design change (going to keep the drawer for stability) and I started marking for my holes.



Sanded, primed and in the process of painting it.



I'm sure it will look like a hack job when I'm done, but it's mine!

 

3m tape to secure, attach the wires, call it good for now.



Flame away!!

 

So long as you like it and it is functional then call it a day. I tend to use that pocket pretty often so it wouldn't work for me.

 

i mounted my trailer brake controller in that pocket.
