Dirty Rockstar Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Alright guys.. Since we don;t have an electrical section, I thought I'd post it here.. (Mods, move if I am in the wrong spot) I have "rethought" my DIC install.. Also MAY add a DIS.. And the UB3.. That is still going in.. But i have some questions before I get too deep into the install of the electronic goodies.. On the 3 components I have mentioned, what types of switches/buttons would I be able to use in an attempt to change them? By this I mean; simple on/off, toggle, etc.. Basically, the type of control I am looking at requires this knowledge.. Anyone with some info, I would appreciate it! Thanks.. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 What exactly do you want to do? Why dont you mount the DIC and DIS intact with their buttons? Quote

solid_raiden223 Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 Steve I can make you a custom Toggle Switch if thats what you need.... I'm pretty good with all that Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Posted March 19, 2005 No.. Different.. Totally different.. Quote
JoroCorona Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 Alright, for a Simple push button, to change it to a toggle it would have to be a momentary toggle. They makes toggles that literly switch up and down, but it only taps the button, making it momentary. You could also go for a spring loaded button. If its a two stage button, you could use a On-OFF toggle, a ON-OFF-ON Toggle, a clicker toggle, or a retaining toggle. The clicker toggle is the one you push down and it stays down till you push it again where it returns to its normal position. A retaining toggle is much like a clicker toggle, but it pops back up regardless. Retainer toggles generally have a light or color indicator showing if its on or off. Hope this helps. Quote
Baddflash Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 With the exception of the UB3 trip/odo and E/M button all the rest will require a momentary switch of some sort. That idea if yours will work if each function has it's own corresponding area, although it could be somewhat confusing with 30 or so buttons. You might want to call Britian and ask "Q" for some help, I'm sure he could fab up a hidden control panel for you. Quote
