Decided I wanted to move the on/off switch and I'm now rewiring the tank

Ok. Cleaned up the internal wiring and move the switch.

With these spare tracks slide up the tank is off.

Slide down into place and tank is on.

That's great!

Thanks! Next is figuring out where to hide a re-charging port.

I like that hidden switch,so much I may include the same thing when I get myself a leo

Great idea!!! Do you have a photo from inside the tank and the mounted switch?

I'll get you a pic up later. I honestly didn't think about it while I was doing it. This was actually a little bit time consuming and tedious. I cut the switch down to fit inside the slot that holds the tracks on, took a jig saw blade and cut the slot upwards almost to the point where it would be seen from behind them.
Then on the tab that holds them on i cut a slot to fit over the switch.

Very good idea!!! a great job

As you can see I used one of the screws from the original mount. It protrudes on the other side so I cut it flush. It then is hidden under the spare tracks. The other side of the switch gets glued, a screw here would be seen on the outer side.

We all need your address so we can send you a cookie and a gold star! This is a fantastic mod! Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference, and this is a nice mod but it's a great idea!

2 thumbs up!
