The Four Switch Panel where the display was, took a little while. I cut the shape out of a Budweiser Box first, shaped it a little, then transferred it to aluminum.
Always take s a little trimming to get a good fit !
The Buggman did sell LED replacement lights for the Consoles Map Lights, I didn't use his but I have heard he has good LED Lighting Ideas.
Off-Topic:
I mentioned the Budweiser Box, I always keep a few pieces of a Bud Box around, these boxes has a cardboard consistence equal to or batter than Gasket Material, if nothing else it can get you out of the woods if trouble hits. The
I make gaskets from it when I need one, the cardboard is a little thicker than standard gasket material, absorbs Hy-Tac (sp) Red Spray Gasket Sealer, I luv that stuff, and I have left these gaskets inlace... because they work !
They also come in handy for Templets, sturdy enough to hold the shape and easy to manipulate.
I had the usual oil leakage on my Harley drive chain side cover, was told to use double gaskets from a guy who side covers were still leaking. I made a gasket from a Bud Box, Red or Blue, sprayed it with Hy-Tac, let it set for a hour or two, light spray again and put it on.. Wham-Bam, thank you to the Harley Gods... no leak... I am hooked on this stuff !
I'm working on getting a few things installed but have a major head cold at the moment... gotta get the visor on, then the Radio/Bezel, and then maybe the Power Window Conversion.
