P700m4 Dash Plate Replacement Question

[JaLerz]

Hello,

Bought my Phantom Camo 2017 700-4 (named her "Pino" after my late Yamaha Rhino) about a week ago and I am loving it so far. This is my first post so I hope I am following all your rules. Seems to be a great forum so far.

I did search through the forum and Google and I was unable to find my answer.

I found a 6 rocker switch Dash Plate for sale on Ebay for about 23 bucks, made by "PBR". My question is: the guy says its for a Pioneer 1000. Are the dash sizes the same?

Thank you!

This is what my plan for the panel was: All rocker switches/ winch in and out, front light bar, rear light pods, usb charging, reverse override.

Sound like a good plan?

@mystic1219 has numerous options for the 700. Plus a great guy to deal with!
PS he does these on the side, so may take a couple days to reply to you.

Yeah that's not biggy. Is this something I can drill out the rivets and flip over and then cut my own holes for the swtiches??

You can drill out the rivets but the plate is thin and has adhesive on the back. I bent it all up taking it off. I used an old street sign to make one. Then painted it with textured Rustoleum paint.

Ok. Thanks for the advice. I might try and make one myself. Maybe I'll just buy a small section of diamond plate and just cut out the rocker switches with a dremel.

Not knocking mystics stuff...but PBR makes some nice stuff too. I called them and gave them my dimensions and how many switches i wanted and they had a plate made and shipped to me in 3 days.

I just went on PBR website and they had a dash plate with 6 spaces for rocker switches. It cost me $22 shipped to my door in California. I will let you know how it is when it arrives.

I was going to make one myself, but I don't think I can make it for cheaper than that

 

[JaLerz]

Wow, the PBR guy shipped my Dash plate in 33 minutes...pretty good service so far.

My dash from PBR is in the mail today and I want to get a head start on the installation. Does this plate cover the factory one or replace it? Am I supposed to drill out the rivets?

@GlockMeister , I know you bought one of these. Any tips would be appreciated.

Drill the rivets out using a 1/8" drill bit. Right down the center of it. Knock em out, peel off label off dash.

Place you panel on dash, mark where you need to cut for switches/radio etc.

Money! Thanks man!

I love this damn forum.

I have so many mod/wiring questions already.

 

[Neohio]

Ask all the questions you would like. Maybe draw a crude wiring diagram so are all on the same page.

Just like Neo said..drill em out or use a sharp chisel an cut the tops off...then cut out for the plate. I used a dremel with a cutoff wheel for the dash..a sharp razor knife works too.

 

[Neohio]

Place the plate on dash, trace all holes with a sharpie.

Remove plate, now draw another bigger box an 1/8" of an inch larger than the switches. Should give you all the room you need to install plate with switches.

Heat gun helps with label removal.
