Check out the switch panel I made today, to replace the thin crappy steel "test run" that lasted for years. I got tired of it flexing but it still worked, plus the way I wired it previously was too messy for my liking
I used aluminum, drilled it all by hand - used a punch but one or two attempts walked off the markings
I used rivets because in all the years of having the previous panel on, I never had to take it off. The steel hardware I used was turning orange with rust so aluminum panel, aluminum rivets . for wiring, I am using one cable with multiple wires inside. They are color coded, green will be grounded at the battery and I will assign the other colors as needed. I thought about painting the panel but I don't want to wait for primer, paint, clear to dry. Instead I brushed the aluminum - looks pretty
buttons are as follows:
Reverse lights Fog lights
Glow Plugs Starter (might flip these two around but probably not)
