Timeh Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Im looking for someone who is able to cut plastics with high precision. Im adding two USB sockets to my car and want placing into two blanking plates in the dash. I had a go myself but made a right dogs dinner of it so i need someone who has the tools and the talent to do it for me. These blanking plates do pop out of the dash and are about 1" square. Anyone know of anyone? Ta Edited September 7, 2015 by Timeh No reason, non at all and certainly not because i made a mistake, pah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Im looking for someone who is able to cut plastics with high precision. Im adding two USB plugs to my car and want placing into two blanking plates in the dash. I had a go myself but made a right dogs dinner of it so i need someone who has the tools and the talent to do it for me. These blanking plates do pop out of the dash and are about 1" square. Anyone know of anyone? Ta Drills and needle files, unless you're looking for ultra high precision … in which case, you need someone with an expensive CNC.

carosio Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Do you actually mean USB sockets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeh Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Do you actually mean USB sockets? Yup, thats what i mean. Thing is i want it to be a perfect fit so it looks good and dosent stand out as a DIY job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeh Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Can't you just buy one of these from Maplins? No as i want it to look nice. Also if i want to plug anything in like the satnav it obstructs my gear stick as the satnav plug is a big one. Having a couple of powered usb sockets is a better setup in my view.
