Ideas For Center Console Switches

I’m looking for ideas for center console switches for lights, and other options I’m pondering.
I’d like to use the area behind the shifter, as it seams like dead space.
Any one got some ideas.
I’m looking for 3-12volt switches possibly in that space. All the switch plates are either to long, to short, to wide. Someone’s done this already, hate to say it I’d like to copy the idea if possible. Open to any ideas.
Thanks for any reply’s.
I’m in the midst of de chrome the area, it’s time to modify before paint.

 

@sdhq_offroad makes one for there with the switch pro. Love mine

Edit; Great suggestion it’s kinda over my budget for this project.
Thanks again for posting you ideas.

 

Here is one from Nick

 

That's nice...

 

link?

 

His name is nick McCartney he is on Facebook under CN Designs

 

Im liking this too... looks more affordable for my budget.
Where did you get it, if I can ask ?

 

Here is a link for the info 16 blue crewmax relayed earlier.

 

Thanks for the link.

 

You’re welcome!

 

Thank you

 

how much was that center console switch holder?

 

$40 shipped. Mine gets here today I think!

Edit: Nevermind.. just checked and it took a detour through St. Paul, MN. I guess that's one way to get to Phoenix from Colorado Springs...

 

Just built this yesterday to mount inside my center console. Switches all came from eBay.

 

Prepping for paint ...
ordered last night will paint it to match when it arrives along with several others things

 

Hey those are mine !!

I am "Nick"......finally had some time to get on the computer.

Cool beans, Nick!

Look for me to pulling the trigger on one of “your” bad boys here soon.

Question, do you have a single gang small switch bezel by chance or plans to maybe make one?

Thanks and welcome!

 

Are you meaning a switch panel that only has one switch place in it instead of the three?? I have a few other switch panels in development just need some time to squeeze in test prints in-between orders.

Nick

 

Yes, a single gang instead of multiple gangs...

Something like the bezel in the pic with the exception of it fitting those (fugly- IMHO)Carling switches thingys and housing single OEM style small push switches like in your three gang box.

I know you would have quite the niche if you developed it. I could have, would have used them in several of my own installs and clients’ installs...

Thanks for your help!

 

Ah, I have not made that although it wouldn't be too hard. My current panels are designed to hold factory small push switches. When I was originally designing this for my personal use I wanted something that looked as if it came from the factory that way.

“Build it and they will come!”.
I am not great with CAD or other graphic design. My son is but is super busy... blah, blah... so...

Yeah, any of us could reasonably cut/Dremal out a simple square anywhere that our dash/trim/console would allow and it would look factory with this simple switch bezel snapped into said square cut out. It would even allow for housing another switch in between the two 12V/120W outlets, heck possibly 2 dependent on how the switch bezel is spec’d.

Just saying...

Big shout-out to Nic @Rocfrog,
You have some cool ideas,
Just got all my stuff together, your switch plate is awesome and the switch’s, you sent to buy, now it’s time to paint it all up and install.



Edit; sis has leukemia, put project on hold, thank you universe for that.

 

Thanks for the kind words! Looks like it’s coming out great! Can’t wait to see the final product!

Nick

 

Have a snag in my project,
Gotta put it on hold for a short period ... I’ll stay in touch, send you Picts. thanks again Nic your switch housing is form fit.

 

Some pictures of CN Designs @Rocfrog switch panel insert - perfect fit and looks good for a printed part. A bit of finishing and it will be perfect for my additional switches. Solid workmanship...cannot wait to get everything installed!

 

Back in town, made some head way on some parts... I’m beat... down, next week for install if the world stops burning down around me.

 

Looks great!

 

Thank ya Sir.
