Received my switch plate yesterday. Not bad for 15 bucks. Guess the mailman couldn't read because it had a slight bend in it lol. I decided to use bolts instead of just screws. Getting the nuts on them took a little work with my dremel. I'll probably respray it with Rustoleum LeakSeal as I scratched it up a bit and I like the texture it has. Took a pic before I installell it back in the Jeep.



Thanks again chipmaker.

No prob. dude. Glad you like it. I'm working on some prototypes at the moment. Since you were my first customer, would you be interested in doing some R&D for me?

I'm thinking of a complete shifter bezel cover as well as a take on ashtray and a/c vent covers. Work has been crazy so I haven't had much time in the shop when I'm not on the clock. If there is a part that must be modified I'll send it with the panel so there will be no unnecessary cutting on your interior.

I'm looking for an 8 switch bank for OHC panel. For the flat recessed area by the dome lights in the back.

On the 97+? Send me the mounting hole size for your switches if you don't want me to include them. I'll get some measurements and PM you a price.

Yes it's for a 97+. I need the bigger switches and I can't remember the name (Cordura?). If 8 won't fit 6 will be alright.

Contura. I gotta vouch for the guys at OTRATTW.com- great products, customization, and timely shipping. If your panels could incorporate these switches I think it'd up the demand. Heck I'd buy, but I've already cut the bezel.

Yeah that's sounds good shoot me a PM when you have some free time.

Those OTRATTW switches do seem to be popular. Not my style but I didn't even want switches that lit up.

As of right now I can only offer panels with round switch holes. I don't have direct access to a CNC machine to make cutting square holes feasible. I can check with a local friend and see what kind of deal I can work out.

FYI when you do: some of the cheaper contura-style switches are slightly larger than spec so you'll need to experiment with different hole sizes and different switches.
