1999 Defender 110 Td5 SW Caledonian Blue

CNC cutting/3D printing

Do we have anyone on here who does a side line on CNC cutting/3D printing?

I have two banks of 7 carling switches in a mud stuff centre dash. The top row of switches fit OK, the bottom row not so well due to the original centre dash still being in place.

I was thinking if I had some thing like a mounting bezel as shown below I could space out the switches away from the mud stuff dash and give more room they might fit better.

I can find 2/4/6 or 6 way bezels but not 7.

With the right measurements could someone either CNC cut a bezel or maybe 3D print one or two? Aluminium would better/stronger I think than plastic? 1999 Defender TD5 110

If you sketch it with measurements i can draw it for you and give you a .dxf. Unfortunately I cant print or CNC but their are a few company's around the UK that will do one off small items
