Console switches don't align? Voila! Problem solved!

[TripleZeroFilms]

I too would be interested in getting this. This mis-aligned switches really do detract from the interior.

I haven't had the time to finalize the plate design until now. I just made what I hope to be a final prototype and will be ready to place an order Monday with the final design. I should have them in a couple weeks and will let you know ASAP.

It's almost here folks the mighty "Mattaligner" Console Switch Retainer & Protector!

Here is a picture of the first prototype combination switch switchplate that does both functions. It is designed to;

1) Perfectly align the switchs so they don't bind on the console and look more like the factory intended.

2) Provide more depth clearance for the new DMCH reproduction switch while making removal far easier.

3) Provide a padded small armrest to keep your arms from inadvertaintly engaging the switchs which has always been a complaint from owners.

4) Improve on the old D1 switch cover plate which keeps the switch from accidently engaging but must be removed for switch operation.

The second picture shows the cover plate which is now unnecessary with the new design. I am considering offering it as both a retainer plate only for those who prefer a stock appearance and a cost savings and the combination retainer/protector for those that want all the benefits of the new design.
I think the combo plate is the way to go but I would like feedback from you. Anybody?...PM's are welcome too. I love this new design and think you will too.
There is a lot more info on my Facebook page so before you post questions here you could check there first.

Wow, that's... not even close to what Matt and I originally put together. Neat idea to have the switches protected from accidental activation as well, but does it hit your forearm when resting it on the console?

You can feel it but it feels quite comfortable as it's rubber padded. I think it will be fine but need more seat time. Perhaps another year or two of testing

Whoa buddy.... If you do go the extended R & D route, I will personally be your beta tester. If not.....I'm ready to order!

I lost ten days because of a PO mixup with my manufactorer so unfortunatly it will probably be about 3 to 4 more weeks as long as I beat they "closing for vacation" deadline. I'm crossing my fingers. Getting this project to completion has been like pulling teeth but it will be worth the wait I promise.
