Console Mod Pics (Does anyone really use 56k anymore to warn?)
I had the original console that I bought with the car, which had a XM Radio installed where the pocket and cigarette lighter would be. I bought one off ebay and kept this around. I needed a place to mount my line lock switch, and wanted to make use out of the wasted space. I seen many people do it before, So I thought I would try...
XM Radio that use to be installed:
Cut out the plastic bracket that was glued in:
Found a scrap piece of plastic at work, cut it down, and sanded it down to fit. Then cut the holes for the switches and guage:
Beveled the top edge a bit so it blended in a little:
Epoxied it on. This stuff smelled nasty as all hell:
The paint I used. Moutain Dew to keep me going  :
Quick 2 coats of paint. A/F guage I got from Blackbirdws6. Plus, two switches I swiped from work:
I will probably find some 12v lights to mount above the switches to come on when they are energized:
Rear view. Had to make a little clearance at the bottom for the guage:
Thanks for viewing.

they have nuts that screw onto them, holding them in place. The plastic ones you find that the store will usually have them on the back.

A spare for something I may add in the future. I may get a 3 position switch and do THIS, instead of paying too much for the SLP one
