Got a switch today, and fabricated a mount. I didn't want to drill any holes, and wanted a somewhat vintage look for my 64.

I left room for another switch for backup lights.

That's is great looking. Is that a one-piece metal that you can purchase from a hardware store? What tool did you use to make the bends?

That shape looks aggressive towards your knees, especially in case of crash.

Try to smooth the lower edge.
