so......when will they be up for sale ;)

Well, had no plans to, as this is a very easy job, I would rather share my tricks than find blank plates, find knobs, make sure they work after I am done...

BE GENTLE if you do this, that pot can easily break off. I would want to "pot" this in some kind of epoxy, but I am lazy on my car.

Started with a generic "taiwan amp" sub level knob and a blank plate:


Here is how it looked with the cover off:



The guts:



Cut up the mounting bracket:



Cut to size:



Remounted knob:



Drilled a couple holes:



Filed the face flat(ter):



Used excellent glue:



Just a tiny bit of glue:



Stuck the glue to the back of the blank plate, making sure the face was alingned:



And...finished:



Have fun!
