72 Suburban Rear A/C Dash Switch Plate/Bezel - New 3D Printed
If someone else already produces this part please let me know.
As pictured below, I have spent way too many hours trying to closely match the original dash switch plate for the rear ac on a 1972 Suburban. I am quite fussy, and quite pleased with the results. It all started early this year when I realized I was missing the plate for my full restoration 72 with rear air. I noticed my original dash still had the faded outline of the plate. So using a picture online of an original plate and the measures from my faded outline I set to building the simple STL. file so I could 3D print one for myself. Along the way I came across an original plate and was able to tweak of couple of small details to get very close to the original. Ultimately to get the right texture on the face and other small details I had to rent the 3D printer several times, and the final design required a 2 part design glued together with ABS cement, and a final silver paint on the letters. These are made of ABS and I anticipate them to last. As I found an original I no longer need one myself, but figured that I was far enough along the way to producing this that I might as well finish for the benefit of anyone else that needs one. Being that it is one of the more obscure parts I do not anticipate selling any/many. Please let me know if you'd like one. They are $20 each. Paypal is good. The part costs nearly nothing to make, but does take 15 mins to assemble, plus the time for me to message you and drop off at the nearest USPS depot about an hour away(which I typically do twice a month). I do not anticipate being able to put my kids through university from this The piece pictured with the new silver paint is my reproduction. Unfortunately I do not have any additional switches, harnesses, or other rear a/c parts for sale. Thanks Scot Ps:I am quite busy these days so it might take a few days to hear back from me, but I will reply. |
