Subject:12V receptacle in drivers seat pedestal
From:Tim Schneider

FYI  cool westy mod of the week/day?
======================================

I did the mod where I added an extra 12V ouput
to the drivers side pedestal.  Radio Shack part number..
Catalog #: 270-1556  http://tinyurl.com/2sagf

In-Line fused, connected directly to the battery
terminals.

There is a punchout (hole) already
right there in the pedestal?   I already have
the extra battery under the drivers seat.  Pull
the carpet back a bit reveals a punchout (oval)
already there, just aft of the seat belt receptacle.

Just drilled a small  hole in the carpet, then took
a util knife, cut the  holea bit larger, then used a
rubber mallet to tap in/seat the receptacle.

works perfectly.. and looks nice and clean.

Need to take a photo or two and post to the
main group site.

cheers
