| A Working Ignition ‘switch’ Key
So it shape looks like key ignition but there is a switch beside led housing. When you insert the key also immediately push the switch and turn on the esc. You can also make this as a dummy key ignition. You need a push on button and a led housing. Of course, you need to cut original switch from esc later. Tools: dremel, small file, locking pliers, CA cement, x-acto knife. Steps: 1. Draw a key on a piece of metal/styrene. 2. Hold it with locking pliers and just start to shape a key 3. Then make a slot for key. Just look at to the pic you can figure it out. 4. For led housing itself, now cut it from the end of bevel. Then fit in (don’t glue!!) the push button and feel how it works with the key. Trim the excess if you felt too long. 5. Glue with CA!! 6. Don’t forget to solder the esc to the switch. 8. DONE... Put where ever you want. In my case I put in the dashboard because easier to access. Let me know your comment Last edited by deephis46; 06-14-2009 at 11:08 AM. |

It's a little on the big side scale-wise, but it's still a very imaginative and creative idea. Excellent thinking...
