Subject: [oletrucks] Dome light/door button installation
>Thanks to the brainstorm of brother oletrucker and list member Terry
>Stellman, I have just completed the installation of dome light buttons on
my
>door frames. They work great, and look and fit like factory equipment.
>
>Only problem that I ran into was finding the buttons that stay on when
>released, and off when depressed. They were available at my local Sears
>Hardware, and are #S 51. As for mounting, I drilled an appropriate hole
>just below the top hinge on each side, where I could reach through the side
>cowl vent area to maneuver from the back. The wiring is simple. One wire
>to the bulb terminal at the dome light, and another to a hot wire.
>
>Just thought I'd pass this along, in case anyone wants to do a similar
>upgrade.
