Randy, where did you get those switches from??? Nice set up

I'll post the name when Iget home, my brother found the site.

Good looking setup, Randy!
Your switches look identical to mine. I got my switches from "the switch guys"http://www.otrattw.com/products.php?cat=14. I've noticed the UTV, Inc sells these switches recently as well.

If you order through otrattw you can pick the color LED, if you a SPST or DPDT or any combination. UTV, Inc just lets you pick a red or blue LED.

Nonetheless, they're cool switches and they seem to hold up to the water real well

Yep that's the ones.

super nice...like the tach but i have tried 2 and cant get one to work...i will call you soon as i get off this call

Randy3451Where did you get that tach at and how hard is it to install?? I have been looking for one.

got the same equus tach on amazon under 70. bucks works great

Chris that is a sweet rhino. You may get OCD on things but it shows when you take pictures for us.

very nice set-up, Chris that's super clean wish mine was half that clean

I'm an electrician and mine doesn't look that good!! Great job Chris!

Chris and Randy.

Are you two using the black rhino dash plate? I was going to make on, but after seeing theirs it seems like the way to go.

Looks great!

Yes, I used the Black Rhino dash plate.

Chris and Randy, looking good!

Where did you guys get the switch bezel?

Nice you can by them from somewhere else.

Poor boy version...drill out the rivets on the safety plate. Flip over, remove the sticker and paint. $20 NAPA temp gauge and $10 in plumbing fixtures. $30 temp gauge and done. Just don't bend the metal plate when installing like I did.

Looks great, I like saving money with doing little things like this, I'll have to check Napa out. Your paint job looks awesome!!!

I 'm always looking to do all I can to save on my mods:star:

Steve I saw the switch bezel on e-play for cheap o

Chris-

Where did you get the rockers themselves? Did you order the rockers from BRP and then just put covers on them later? If so do the rockers from BRP have lights that stay on all the time?

I would just like to order the switch and all from OTRATTW but he is out of the dang colors I want.

Thanks in advance.

I bought everything from OTRATTW, the rockers and the switch covers. I am not sure how BRP offers their switches, whether they are dual LED (bottom part lit all the time and top lit when on) or single LED (top lit when on).

OTRATTW lets you order the switches however you want, even the color of the LED backlight, but it sounds like they are out of stock.

The good news is that you are able to find these "custom" etched switches in more places. When I bought them, OTRATTW was about the only game in town. Then others started carrying these switches. You might try googling "Contura V laser etched switches" and see if you can come up with another vendor who has what you need in stock. I wish you good luck on your project. The switches really add a cool and custom look to the dash. I get a lot of compliments from my setup, and in reality, the dash isn't custom at all. I simply pieced together a few parts from several vendors. The end result looks good and is functional.

If I am just installing one gauge and need to power it where is the easiest way to get power when the key is on.  It's my wideband that I am hooking up, would just using the terminal fuse like above be the easiest.
