center consoles/switch panels/blingy dash's

 

 

im just building a nice ally center console with aircraft switches (wanted them on a car since i was a kid)

 

 

wondering how many im going to need really

 

 

 

lights? side/dipped/main

wipers?

indicators? are they allowed down there?

ill save one for a fuel pump as and when i need it

ignition (as well as the key)........although i want one of them push button panels with the armed switch)

horn?

colling fan?

neons

 

also want to stick little warning light things above things like the lights, fuel pump etc to remind me there on

 

 

the sheet is made of aluminium and was just under £15 from B&Q

[Mr Sam]

This is mine. I made it from sheel ally and sprayed it with stone chip shield. Gotta nice matt black finishe which is hard to scratch!

where did you get the labels for your switches from mate?

[mk1rob]

got them from Demon tweeks mate. Come on a big sheet and you just cut out which ones you need (badly in my case! )

[Mr Sam]

nice one i was wondering about how to lable them

 

also toying with the idea of spraying mine satin, makes the switches stand out more

[Rick]

spray it satin and then polish back the raised bits back to ally

[Mr Sam]

How did you wire them into your loom mate? Looking to do the same myself!

[PIG]

mine

[mk3tina]

to make the labels why not get a dymo? thats what i used and looks professional as thats what they use for labelling rally cars etc, not to mention labelling the flux capacitor in back to the future!

I used the wires from the standard switches for the things like lights, heater, wipers etc. Then for the other things like rad fan, i took a permanent live straight from the fuse box to the switch, then from the switch to the fan. The lower load things like the clock and the alarm led, i pinched a permanent live from the interior light as there wern't any more spare ways in the fuse box. Hope that makes sense

[Mr Sam]

loving that adjustable traction control knob

 

much like the one in Andy Frosts red victor the boost know....scary / very scary

[Tom]

Here's mine that i made about 7 years ago.

 

 

I'm a bit bored with it now so may put it back to standard (except the one on the tunnel) but still have the push button start as there's something very satisfying staring an engine with a button

 

Oh and my start button came off an old industrial washing machine control panel!!

[Mr Sam]

spray it satin and then polish back the raised bits back to ally

 

 

if i did it carefully that could be quite tasty
