I have not.
For a couple reasons:
Cost is mainly top reason, many have simply used pieces of plastic with success for only a few dollars.
But since, I'm recouping from knee surgery, I may have to look a little harder.
If I can get a nice aluminum piece with ease of install & cost effective enough to be able to sell, I promise to see what I can do.
I'll talk to my machinist in about another week as I have more Carling style getting done for more stock & see what he says & thinks.
I'll keep you posted.
Please email me & I'll personally keep you in communications.
Thanks,
Brett

Definitely post your pics when you get them all done.
Thanks!

Today, I spoke with Jim from OTRATTW and a dimmer from "autometer" is the only one he recommends and states it will not harm the LED's of the Carling switches.
So, if you want to dim your switch LED's, here's the item that he recommends:
(Can be found locally at your parts stores, off road shop, eBay or Amazon as well).





Could just add a resistor in line of the LED grounds. Much easier and cheaper IMO. This is how I dimmed mine.

True, .... & that may work.
Though having a dial to 100% adjust the brightness is a nice feature and without risk of damaging the LED's.

I want to Thank all for the recent orders.
They are ALL shipped out & on their way to you.


A quick note: I will be taking a week vaca & mainly to visit family in FL.
I will be back on the 19th, but I will check emails regularly and answer you back timely.


Thanks again ... & enjoy your custom switch panels.
It's a quick & easy project that makes your truck not only be functional...BUT classy & customized as well!

I'm On my way back from a much needed vaca & knee surgery recovery. All good!
Thanks for the guys for waiting until this Monday to get your orders out... You'll love how they look & don't forget to post your pics when you get them all installed. Love to see them!!

Also, for the guys who want to go with round hole switches don't forget these! 2 choices: 5/8" (16mm)..... & 3/4 (19mm). Many switches are available for these hole sizes. (Switches not included).


And to add... I'm currently making these in a 4 switch configuration where you can also have a logo lasered in the center, just like the other 4 switch panels. (Approx: 3 weeks before those will be done).

Thanks,
-Brett

Is it possible to annodize in another color other than black? Perhaps one closer to the factory grey plastic?

Yes, actually it is. But it's $25 additional and it isn't a perfect match.
And It takes about a week to get it done.
Due to those variables, I don't advertise it. Black is neutral & throughout ALL of our interiors and blends in quite well & looks more natural. I have a ruby red & though it would look great... I just chose black as it will blend better with my grey headliner.

Though, that option is open if one chooses to accent a color of their choice & im sure they'll look great!! If interested, please email me & I can certainly get you fixed up!

Maybe in the future, I'll get some samples done to show.... Keep you posted on that!

Thanks,
Brett
