How'd you make that one for the ash tray fit tight. I have no problem cutting one out, I just havent figured out how to make it "snug."

Make a paper template that fits snugly, then use the paper template to cut out your hard plate. The material (laserable or engravable plastic) cuts easy with a bandsaw or can be shaped with a hand file if you dont have a Laser Engraver handy .

Ahh... I figured there was something on the bottom that kept it from moving side to side, front to back. Thats how the ashtray keeps from moving as it sits down in the hole. The actual opening is bigger than the panel that was posted. Maybe a little dab of something will keep it from moving around. * Off to make a 6 switch panel*

Thanks Beer!

I have made one ashtray switch. Nitrous Outlet and HSW have ashtray panels so I stay away from doing those, this was made to match the main panel since the Line Lock and Master Arm would not fit on the main panel.
