I like those outlets. Where did you get them and how did you mount them up like that? What is the best way to wire them up?

its been such a long time since i put them i can remember exactly what i did. i do know that i purchased the outlets at Lowes. I think they were like the only round single outlets with brackets that i could find. i think that i had to Dremel out some the plastic on the back side of that dash piece to get them to sit right. i also had to bend the brackets for them to sit nice and flush. i think i was able to get a couple screws in on a little plastic piece that jutted out or something. it was really rigged and i wanted to get them a little more secure, but its not bad.

as far as wiring, im just going to plug extension cords into the invertor and wire the cords up to the outlets. Hhllon4whls told me that i could then disassemble the power switch inside the invertor and basically extend it up and find a remote mounting spot wherever in the dash area. this way with the flip of a switch, power will be available at the outlets. or thats the plan anyway, its not finished yet :P
