Aluminium foil - carry voltage? Enough for this?
missioncontrol:
o.k. now on Bronco's they use two contact points simalar to the method you are trying to replicate for the rear window defroster to work (the back window rolls down like the side windows so you can open the tailgate.) unfortunaltely mine doesn't have rear window defrosters on it to get a better look at this method. but you've basicaly got two peices of metal the touch each other upon contact creating the circuit. I know something is out there that is more suitable for your application. I just can't think of where else I've seen them. I'll keep my eyes open today while I'm out and see if I see something.

Was gonna suggest something liek that just now..
You could put the plug in the wood so when its all together, itll plug in, and when you pull it out itll unplug..
Sorry, foil like that isnt safe imo.

The area I want to mount the connections would not easily allow for these.
I will have a look around today and see if I can find something else. Maybe a couple of thin strips of copper may work...

This seems a little scary to me. Could you perhaps dremmil it down 1/8 of an inch and then get a piece of steel or copper plate and mount it with screws. I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't just put an interupt switch on the door. Door opens and the fans go off.
