Re: 1953 3100 "Honey-do"

Since I'm moving the window controls, door lock controls, HVAC controller, and the heated seat modules to the center console, I need a way to attach them to the bottom of the transition in a way that is both secure and they can be removed. The master door lock and window control for the driver was the easiest and just needed metal offsets to get the height and then weld them to the bottom of the transition plate.

The only thing I could think of for the others was to duplicate the plastic mounting scheme in metal. All of this starts out in pieces that are hand filed to fit and then welded together to make an assembly for each controller. This is tedious work and I do it off and on when I have the time and energy. I still have one more holder to make for the passenger side heated seat controller. Once I have that done, I will use the template that I'm working from now and use it to mark the holes in the console transition plate. I don't want to have to fab that again too!

That's all for now. Thanks for looking!
