Billet Switch Panel

So I decided I wanted to be different and save a little cash on my switch box so I decided to design one to fit where the cd holder is in the center console.

A forum member that is local works at a machine shop and he cut me out a billet piece from my design on CAD.

First picture will be the design before it was cut, second picture is the cut piece not polished, third/forth picture is of the panel polished.


Tonight I will put my switches in the panel and wire up the switches, this is just the begining phase of my truck getting bagged, I have everything just taking my time with it...












9 switches for the bags, 1 switch to cut off the pressure switch, the other for my in dash bypass, and the circle is for the key lock.

What you guys think?

Re: Billet Switch Panel

Ok so I just finished hooking up the valves to the switch panel and all the switches click the right valve!!! The wiring didn't turn out as clean as I wanted it to but I just wanted to make sure it worked which it does!!!

Check out the pics...

So if I ever get pulled over I can lock it and wont work if the cop trys to give me crap, I should of just put a toggle to cut the power on the switches, oh well it is what it is I guess.

I was back and forth too much on the whole design, and after all i wish I did it a little differently.

Plus I can just lock it if someone else drives it so they dont play with the switches...

I'm very happy with it, I may get another one made change around a few things but all the wiring/diodes just sucks, took me so long to wire it all up. Maybe later down the line when I'm fully bagged I can redo it and sell this one.

I can go ahead and ask, so you just want a billet piece that fits in the console cut out but no holes or anything for switches right??




And everyone else thanks for all the compliments!!! I wanted something different/original and I think I achieved it!!
