Thought you guys would like to see a "look what I did" rather than a "what do I do" thread.

I needed a fuel pump switcch and a switch to active my TCC. I also wanted to put a radio in the car as it hadn't had one for at least the 7 years I've owned it and been working on it.

I cut a piece of 1/8" thick aluminum out in the same shape as the factory shifter plate. I have a B&M Console Megashifter, so that's why there's a big hole in it.



Trimmed it out and drilled the mounting holes:



Test fit:



Then I ordered two Carlington Contura II rocker switches. A SPST for the fuel pump with a red lens. A DPDT for the TCC with a blue lens. I marked and cut out the hole for them in the switch plate up where the ashtray was. I had to shift them to the passenger side because of how the shifter cable mounts to the shifter. The bracket would have interfered with the plugs for the switches.

After test fitting again with the switches in, I dissassembled it and gave it to my g/f Julie for painting. She put a few coats of wrinkle paint on it and we let it dry. Today, I did the final install on it. Here's how it turned out. Ignore the wood grain on the radio adapter, it was all they had in stock and we're taking it on a trip this weekend so time is a factor.





I have room to add at least one more switch, if not two, in the future should I want/need them. I'm thinking one more for an electric cooling fan down the road. Probably another DPDT with AUTO/OFF/MANUAL like I did the TCC switch.

 

Looks nice!
