its a cool idea, and actually not that hard. Im currently in the process of replicating it. Everything is cheap besides the switches lol.

 

I did a SEARCH and found that a fitch box is the best way to mount switches

 

i always liked that idea but thats where my cb is mounted. thinkin about building a box to put above the cb as theres a little bit of room up there still

 

I think I'd like to eventually do something like this: http://gaugeplates.com/offroad.php

 

How did you mount your cb up there? and where do you hang you mic?

 

theres a switch missing because im running 20 amps through the switches (a 20 amp supply per 2 switches) and wasnt running a high enough switch so the one burned out. so i went to replace them with higher swtiches and the store only had 3.lol so im waiting to replace one switch. i made the box out of 1/4" markalon which is the military grade blast proof plexi glass, had some laying around. also had some old emblems so i decided to use em. the "special" is off and old ****** wagon radiator

 

 

I did search but i did not find anything unique. If you don't have anything to back up what you say then don't say anything at all. You did not know the circumstances.

Now with that being said....Does anyone know where i can find those switches in the above picture that i quoted? Is there a specific name for that style?

And yes, i am a bit picky! lmao.....It's hard for me to make decisions.

there ya go, i think those are em anyways

 

Yes sir. Same thing thats the same thing i posted a
link to if you looked. http://www.otrattw.com/index.php they are pricy but pretty sweet.

As far as the box "holder" goes its not on the site....if you want to check into it more send me a pm and ill get you a list and such of things needed to do this if this site still dont work www.fitchva.com

 

Thank you DCM That's exactly what i was looking for.
Thanks...sorry i wasn't too specific on what i wanted. I was looking for a link for the rocker switch by them selves. I am going to Fab something cool. It may take awhile but ill get some pics up when finished.

 

i think i have a few squad switch panels from when i worked for the pd. i have to go look
