- A Kootenayboy tutorial on how to properly and quickly install components like rocker switches LED's, and so on into the Dash, console or other interior panel.
While I say interior panel or in dash, this concept will work on dam near anything SUV, RV, Truck, Motorbike, Tractor, zamboni, whatever has a plastic panel you want to install something into including but not limited too a switch. please subscribe!!!
If you like the vid or even part of it please subscribe I really need the subs and likes (shares) to keep on youtube without them and the new 2018 rules I wont be able to keep building up my channel while I do not make a lot what I do get allows me to buy the components etc I need to make the tutorials Switches and so on without them I only make videos on what I need and less subscriber requested tutorials. rotary
The easiest way to make a clean perfect size hole in a dash is to heat up something metal that is the size you need and melt through like butter. Use file to clean up the edges
And remember a safety protocol always cut towards yourself never away
😭😭😭🤣
This video helped me so much omg
Dremel is fast and easy. But if I was doing this in a new truck or a showroom type car I'd probably start with a small square inside of my box and hand file to until it fit.. A file is slower, more controllable, and easier to prevent a hole that's too big or gaps showing after.
its easier but not necessarily faster I found you have to do small slow cuts, and ya always test a panel first I had the luxury of having several spare interior panels kicking around and years of building hydroponic and aeroponic systems in a garden center it was essentially the same thing cutting plastic to an exact measurement. Id suggest a fine rasp over a file as the files clog up quick with the plastic as where a fine rasp is easier to clean and stay functional.
thank you for the feedback and watching :)
Should probably turn off the music before doing a video
Agree with Thomas Ohman, My chippy and sparkie sons always have the radio on when working. When looking after my grandchildren, our play time is sneaking to their players for many tricks to defeat "you can't stop the music". Sons get annoyed when they should laugh. Sometimes I just cut the power and smile. They would never hit me. After they stop working, they can then laugh. They can't explain why and are top fathers. I think it is a tradie disorder, yet to be diagnosed by psychiatrists.
ya I know Im sorry it was not that loud when I made it youtube changed the volume when it was uploaded and Ive not needed to cut anymore holes in the interior of my truck so.... I left it
Thanks man, what I was looking for!
Thank you for the video you made. I am considering using a housing they sell for the switches. Do you recommend that? Thanks for your opinion!
Where did you get those switches? I like the look
I got mine off ebay but OTRATTW makes over 200 different kinds rocker switches and they have everything mount/bracket you need it's mainly a jeep website but it works for almost any application.
I got mine off Ebay a few bucks each free shipping but its 30 days because they come from china. if your in a hurry they are available faster but the cost goes up a lot
excellent.. though I am not good with tools , but looks pretty easy.
I grew up in the Kootenays when it was really rural so you had to be able to do everything you could not call someone lol dad and grand dad were very skilled mom, nana grandma were like martha stewart on steroids so we learned everything from baking to welding lol
HAHAHA.. Ok .. well My father was a real handyman. Well actually he was an architect .. Its just I lived with my mother, they were divorced so I never got to do these things. Anyway Its great to know you have those skils.
nothing wrong with that moms have important stuff to teach too, I'm a single dad so pull double duty I have great respect for the good single parents out there probably one of the hardest things to do. Architect that's awesome when I was in high school I was drawn to that took a bunch of drafting courses but then I got introduced to Girls and parties I ended up changing my Major lol
hahaha.. I hear you ... Well I am not talking ill about single parents, dont get me wrong I loved my mother, and learn a lot from her. I am saying that well the things I learned were not building stuff. I have 2 Step Kids and 2 of my own now and try to teach them what I know... And you know what buddy , When we are introduced to girls is when our lifes get complicated but exciting, part of life...BTW I admire single parents especially when they are guys.
Thank you for the info
I never can do this and it not look like trash. Guess i need some practice. Good patience you have. Word of advice. Never use a high speed cutting tool like a dremel without safety glasses. They can fracture at high speed and put your eye out. I almost had this happen to me. Hit me just to the right of the eye. Left a nasty bloody mark. If that had been my eye? I certainly would have been blinded. No question about it. Not worth the risk. I mean, I ain't your dad, but eyes are pretty important. It takes a second to protect your eyes. Takes less than that to destroy one.
Good point, I noticed the lack of safety glasses too.
Good advice. I'm a long ways from being a Safety Sally but even I wear eye protection when using those cutting wheels. They absolutely will shatter and it's just dumb luck if they don't go into your eye.
Thank you Sr
is there a standard cut out and hole position for 2/3/8 rocker switch panels (building a customer dash)
each switch comes with a sort of template on each switch its a spacer but it is exactly the measurement of the switch hole size just remember to leave space between switches cut once measure twice even three times if needed a dash is a one shot deal lol
Hi, how do you wire this rocker switch? thanks!
What kind of drill head you used to cut ?
...noisey music in the background lost it for me. Consider removing this video and do a shorter one without the music. Thanks.
sounds like a first world problem to me 🙄
Recommending that people use hot glue? Do you know how hot cars can get in the summer sun? Sounds like a bad idea.
LOL haven't done much more than superficial auto wiring I take it. under your dash and carpet are hot glue connections through out the vehicle. once you start moving past the armchair mechanic you will notice a great deal of things you would never think suitable but are common place. I would not recommend it if I was not positive it is acceptable. thanks for watching
I never comment on RUclips but holly Shit turn that music off
why the hell would you make an instructional video with music playing in your background
Unsafe use of box cutter man. TD.
I gave you a thumbs down because I couldn’t hear you over the music.
and I gave you a thumbs up because you obviously need the attention, your audio settings are not my fault :)
😂😂😂😂
The only reason I gave this vid a thumbs down is because that music is too loud and VERY distracting! Gonna look for another video that does not have that distraction quite so loud. It comes across tinny sounding and a bit annoying honestly. Back the volume down and you'd have a top shelf vid with good information from what I saw. Just can't take that music dude.
thanks Ill be sure to have my doc up my antidepressant dosage
Sloppy
love to see how its done, whats the link to your install so we can see how to make it tight :)
