[Roadsters] A use for the useless - here's what I did

[Keith Downing]

Posted on 311s.org

Replaced the Map Light (useless) with a power
port/cigarette ligher body.  If I'm not using it as a power port for my XM, I
use it for a map light in this post. I also run my Garmin GPS off the
cigarette lighter port on the console.  Basically 2 power ports.

  I mounted an accessory port on the
middle screw of the leading lip of the
glove box door in my '69 1600.  Had to
run the ground wire out to the
speaker box mount.  Got 12 volts from the fuse
box.  And if you do it just
right (or with luck in my case!) the glove box
will still shut, even with
the GPS plugged in.

Preparing for my trip
last Thursday, I took out my console to replace  
the cig lighter. My other
goal was to install a 12v accessory port.  
The lighter plugs for gps's and
such destroy cigarette lighters, so  
one of these ports was needed.

But
where to install it? Much head scratching followed. "I wonder if I  
could get
this map light working too?", "Why bother? It's completely  
useless even when
it works!"

AAAHAAA!

On tour. I paid my Nevada state taxes last night. I put
a dollar in a  
slot machine.
