sorry to bring old thread back but how well do the switches stay put in there all nexdt to eachother?

Good question.
The switches on the right already in the blank are snug with little play.
The ones not installed yet on the left are too loosy goosy for my tastes.

That's because when I dremeled out the left first then dremeled out the right. I just made the first hole on the left too big.

That being said, they are not falling out, they don't move when hitting bumps. they don't rattle or anything. They are just not super snug.

guess its time to hit up junk yards. i just dont think i could make a piece tat would look as good and look facotry

found some from fsc. should i go with a gray one or black? my console it grey and black i have no fabric on it. i think the black would look kinda cool 2 tone or just the grey with black switches

gray plate so you have contrasting color between parts. Aids in non-direct visual actuation.

grey i shall get. ya think 18 shipped is reasonable? ive been searching for one forever

wow $18 shipped? i'll start snatching these up in the yards when i up there

they didn't charge me for the 2 i picked up a while back. have to pick up some more.
