Turn signal lights installed.
Ran all the wiring, which took a long time as I tried to really tuck everything up nice and tight so it didn’t look like crap. Made the connections and tested it out and everything is in working order. Also ran some of the other Switch Pro wiring, grounds, and stuff while I was at it.
Took a little wiring break to do some fabrication. I pulled out the factory rear-view mirror as it was pretty much useless with the new spare tire in the way. Got a back-up camera/monitor to go in its place and needed a way to mount it. I left the factory bracket in there for an attachment point and made this to go between the bracket and monitor. Cut a small slice of DOM tubing and beveled out one end.
Turns out a 6mm nut presses in nice and snug. Bevel is there for filling in with weld.
Nut welded to the tube and tube slice welded to a small piece of plate. Put on a couple coats of paint and it’s currently drying. Will install tomorrow.
Next up was making a bezel mount for the switch cluster. I plan on mounting this up against the roof, just left of the new rear-view monitor. Started off with some CAD work (arts and crafts cardboard variety, I can’t wait for the plasma table to arrive).
Transferred that to a piece of aluminum, .125” thick, maybe?
Got to play with the SWAG finger brake on the press.
Cut out the hole for the switch cluster
Fits like a glove! 😉
That’s it for this weekend so far. Fortunately have an extra day tomorrow dedicated to more progress, hopefully.
