Hi guys!

I need to think of something to use to house my switches for the airbags..

I have 4 toggle switches, and they are currently held on a bit of plastic newth cut out my rear window (the old one tounge )

Scott said i should use this remote control vw camper van thing i got - its one of them chubb city things with the big wheels..

I dunno tho..

I just had them in a black box before, simple but effective!

Any ideas?

Im going for a ratty hotrod look with the caddy, so anything quirky would be good Icon_smile

Could you rust up a biscuit tin or something and mount them on that? Maybe get some German ones from Lidl or something.
Get something old/retro to house them in or use as a switch panel e.g.:

Simon (the game) with switches behind the panels
Rubiks cube, twist to pop

Even dafter have something like the rear light swing out and the box and cable pull out from inside.
A really old mints/tobacco tin (im sure you can acquire one)
An old Walkman or 8-Track, RW, stop, play and FF, 4 buttons.
how about just have them on a switch pannel thats standard and doesn't look fancy, because no one is really going to looking at it ??

Where from Bruton? I'm interested (don't quite know what for yet, but at £14 I'm sure I can think of 4 things!)

And NES pad, awesome idea (as much as I detest Nintendo).
Thanks.
How about my PLC I have for sale lol?? You could program it to do different things.
I'll knock you up a sound-to-err...air? controller so it can dance by itself...
