Default TCS or Convertible Switch Panel Part #

I need to find a Blank or plain TCS or convertible switch panel to mount my nitrous switches. Do they make one of these without any provisions for the stock switches, so that it is just a flush panel without any holes? Anyone know the part number for it?

This part number is a completely blank plate for the storage area in front of the shifter?

I need one for my push-button starter and have been trying to make one out of ABS plastic...

Ah..yeah...I wasn't making a statement, I was asking the question, "Is this a completely blank plate with no holes?" If it is, then thank you for sharing the part number as my search is finally over!!

I did go back and look at my original post and if you take away the question mark, it did look like it was a flame, but I assure you it was not!

I'm not 100% sure it doesnt come with the TOPS switch u can check and see. I think it might though, cause I was look for this to run with my electric cutout and this is the part# a guy gave me.

im pretty certain it comes with the hole for the conv. switch. 69_yenko bought one to use as a mount for something.

The Conv. & TCS panels will have the holes in them. i got a conv panel and put my Trans temp gauge in it, im going to put my line lock switch in the hole.

Have you seen the NX switch panel? it goes in the same location as those panels but already has 3 switches in it, it looks like it belongs in the car.

That is the part# for the convrt top switch, not the panel... GM doesn't offer a blank panel, only a tray for the hard/t-tops or the pre-cut plate for the verts, which is part#10280510.

Went to the dealer last night, and they couldn't find anything that would be blank, I guess I'll have to try to fabricate one. The NX plate looks pretty smooth and fits nicely, but I don't like the look of the switches. I'll come up with something!

I bought a sheet of textured black ABS plastic from McMaster-Carr...I have it cut out for my push-button starter switch and line lock switch...I'm just having a hard time coming up with the best way to mount it short of just epoxying it into place...I'd like to come up with something non-permanent...

If you're interested, here is the part number of the plastic I bought...it's 1/8" thick, black textured ABS/PVC mix...very nice stuff:

I made my own plate for two gauges. It's not hard.

BTW the ASR and Fog switches are usually available on eBay. They can be used in factory location above the radio. I've picked up a couple extra.

Thanks! I had a plastic box with 'grained' plastic. Cut it to shape and epoxied it in place.
