I tweaked the marquee a little. Changed the font and contrast.

Top image is the old one.

No need to fear A.C. wiring.  Respect, yes.  Fear, no.

That power inlet uses QDs, just like buttons do.   >:D

Heat shrink is a nice touch if you have a heat gun and don't mind the effort:

* Pull one QD at a time.

* Place heat shrink on the wire, but don't shrink it yet.

* Reattach the QD.

* If you're paranoid about whether you messed up the wiring, check the resistance on the hot, neutral, and ground wires from the plug that normally plugs into the wall outlet to a power strip outlet inside the cab.

* Once all the heat shrink pieces are in place,  fire up the heat gun and shrink 'em on down.   :cheers:

If you're being serious, I'm terrible when it comes to reading tone on the interweb and your line was kind of funny so...  :dunno But, yeah, I'll pop this ---smurfette--- out and double bag 'em if I've got it wrong here. This stuff is outside my comfort zone. Wrap it before you tap it.
Mostly serious but the line was also meant to convey a bit of humour.

Electrical tape will do for me.  I only mentioned it as I managed to shock my socks off, literally not physically with one of those connections.  And that's why I now always advocate the use of Protection.

  • No. It's your top score on Pole Position.
If you have them like you should, quick female disconnects work well for this application.  I ordered an abundance of them for my control panels and found they work nicely for my rocker switches.

What is the angle of the cp/bezel? 

What stain was that?  I couldn't make it out in the picture.  I used a pecan stain by the same company for mine.

Thanks.
