VIPER ashtray question???

jason427 · January 11th, 2004, 05:31 PM

Is the Viper ashtray unique to VIPER or is the same unit used in any other Dodge cars?

I need to cut mine up for a switch, but wanted to have a stock one to put back some day.

Thanks,
Jason

Rather than cut the ashtray up, I removed it entirely and made a plate that the switches mount on. It all depends on the look you're going for. Removing the tray left me a lot more room in the hole to wire and mount the switches. I might have a pic around here somewhere...

This is what I ended up doing.

Here's a pic of mine. It now has two switches mounted on it, with room for two more (total of 4).

Ah, but that is the secret, now isn't it?!

There are actually two plates since I crafted this myself. There is a top plate that rests on top of the console cutout (but down in the dip) and there is a bottom plate that sits below the lip. I sandwich the two plates with some filler material to match the thickness of the panel.

The switches are from Summit Racing.

A friend has a CNC shop, and one of these days I'm going to CNC a really trick brushed fixture to replace my homemade one. When I do I'll have him make a few and post here for whoever wants one.
