so i was just reading over the thread, on page 17 i noticed that you mounted rockers on your steering column. how are those working out for you? are they easily accessable to fix? im trying to think of a new place to mount switches so they dont clutter up the dash and dont get in the way.

They weren't bad at all. Just drop the bottom of the colum, and the bottom of the dash by your legs and then you can feel around to make sure they will clear behind. Then just fish the wires up from the dash, pretty quick and dirty...

What did you paint your BudBuilt plate with?

What did you paint your BudBuilt plate with?

I just cleaned it up with some simple green, primer, and painted it. I just used some semi flat rustoleum in a can but I have a gallon for my spray gun that I will do next time when it needs it. Holds up well until you drag it over a rock:sombrero:
