June 19, 201114 yr Author For power and listening, it will dock inside the cradle.It will charge and play just like an iPod would, on a larger scale.It slides into the cradle and connects to a 90* connecter.......Then it will have an adapter that has the mini USB for charging via a lighter plug (hidden) and a standard 3.5mm plug for sound that will connect to the aux input of the HU.....
June 19, 201114 yr Author So I got plenty done today. At least I think so. Actuator mounted, Bell Crank mounted, made linkages and got alot of holes drilled.Here are some pics.....
June 19, 201114 yr Author Here is a vid of it in action. Excuse the noises. It was still loose and just roughed in.....It has since been tightened up and works silently. Edited June 19, 201114 yr by Epicenter Jon
June 19, 201114 yr Author And for the hell of it, here is my template I made outta 1/4" MDF to make the filler pieces for the bezel.I will make a flat fiberglass panel on my plate glass then transfer the shape via a router table and mold that in.Monday or Tuesday when I have the time.
June 21, 201114 yr I love looking through your builds! Always such great craftmanship. I can't wait to see it finished!
June 26, 201114 yr Author So when I left off, I made a filler template outa 1/4" MDF. But I knew that wasn't gonna be strong enough for my liking so I made a fiberglass copy.Some plate glass, Turtle wax, tape and a roller and you get a flat piece of fiberglass to work with.This one is 8 layers and it was 1/4" thick.I made a copy on the router and then used some plastic epoxy and molded it into the bezel.
June 26, 201114 yr Author And then there was the body work to smooth it out. No pics needed of that, we should all know what that looks like by now.So jump to the primer.
