    @Peewee Sorry for the delay....

    Alright so onto the pictures............
    Passenger side...

    Drivers side...

    Opposite magnets are on the back side of plastic where the pen tip is just inside the seam.

    Epoxy I used for the magnet side. The plastic side I just used some regular 2 part that I had laying around.

    Finished product.

    AH! Now i comprehend. Thanks for the pics! they look great! not to mention the switch choices. interesting. It appears you've done some modification for cooling purposes. did you install aftermarket radiator with electrical fan? or how do you kick on the Engine Fan since its mechanical?
    I was thinking of something similar with reguards to magnets. i'd make like a elongated piece of wood, drill a screw through it, attaching it to the side of the cubbie hole, hollow out some holes to put some magnets inside of the wood, and since the plate is metal, it would hold to the magnets. but your idea is even more interesting... how did you work out where to place the magnet inside the center console? Cool idea!

    Thanks. But the plate is Aluninium not steel. And Iggy's panel sits right on that lip in there so it was just a matter of finding where the lip was and clamping them down while the glue dried. I also have a ton more switches wired up beyond what is in @Iggy. panel. Check out the build thread \/ for info. But I am planning on removing the mechanical fan and OEM radiator and will be putting in a performance radiator and a dual electric fan set up. One will be tied into the thermostat to engage when the temps need it to, the other will be controlled by the switch in-cab.


    @Iggy. Sorry to :threadjacked:..........Now back to your regularly scheduled BS broadcast.:wave:

    @Whitecloud No worries! I was actually a bit interested myself. I'll take a peak at your build thread since I need to do a radiator fan too. :bananadance:

    @Peewee I'm finishing designing a project at work so I can batch it all in with the water jet guy. I'm hoping to put the order in by the end of the week.

    I just placed an order for panels and I'm ordering components as we speak. If you guys are serious you can put your name on one now by PM'ing me the following info, and I'll send you a Paypal invoice. Once everything arrives I can ship them out immediately instead of asking for the info later and wait for you to pay. These are for auto panels only. I have 2 manual versions available.

    Email
    Number of Blanks ($1.25 each)

    Thanks guys! I'm guessing a few weeks at most to have them go out. I'll check ETA with my water jet guy tomorrow.
