Does he have a design with all aftermarket switches? THinking I might want to convert my factory switches there to the aftermarket kind and then they will all match. I saw he has a 2 factory with 4 aftermarket and the power port. I like Having 2 power ports there too though.

I agree. It feel very very featherweighted and filmsy.

Price is perfectly acceptable is you consider the time taken to design everything and shapeways profit on it.

And yes he made a panel for contoura switches. Also he just designed one to put switches where the ashtray goes.

I didn't catch this before, but apparently that site detected my country and converted everything to CAD. ~$90US is actually a decent price.

Removed oil pan, checking for any signs of a noise coming from oil pan. Tick tick tick. Main suspect, main bearings.

I don't know. It was already in the axles that I bought. I would prefer an e-locker

Yeah same here. I feel like it would be a pain if you ever got a leak in your air line.
