There's been a lot of demand from TF owners for more detailed
information about David's Auxiliary Electrical Panel (among other
things). David has agreed to provide detailed information about the
construction and assembly of the panel. This includes the
AutoCad file. Here's David's description of what we have:
Bud,
Wrote a
disclaimer to go with it:
Attached
files/photos:
From the files
(left "open" for editing) one should be able to
custom configure a panel for your needs!
Any competent fabrication shop should be able to
cut & engrave the panel from that.
The AutoCAD
file is to scale...the excel is not. Here's what it looks like:
Here's how to make it:

Sheward TF Auxiliary Electrical Panel
Hides under dash and attaches to support frames.
No holes in dash.
Room under for extra fusing to wiring system.
On the one I did the "AUX ENGAGE: switches are
used as a "pre-select" to the "A" knob on the
TF.
i.e. Any switches in the "on" position will come
on with the dash knob.
I run both a fog lamp and a driving lamp ...this
allows me to select one or both...also my
hunting lamp and a aux period dash map lamp.
I included the AutoCAD file so, if desired, one
can edit the function names, or custom tailor
for your needs.
Functions on mine have been changed over the
years and now include a switch for wipers so I
don't have to remove my lockable glove box doors
to turn wipers on.
In the original configuration switches were as
follows:
1: Fuel pump shut off (Labeled "NOS")
2: Hi Beam: was a relay for Hi-Beams but now
operates a Reversing lamp on rear apron.
(Only operates when Lights are turned on and
switch in on position.)
3/a1 MAP - Dash Map Lamp
4/a2 HUNT - Hunting Lamp on drivers side
5/a3 FOG L - Left front Driving Lamp
6/a4 FOG R - Right front Fog Lamp
(These 4 "preselect" from "A" switch on the TF
supplied for Driving / Fog lamps)
7: HEAT / FAN Ceramic Heater ("FAN" bypasses
heater to use as fan only in summer.)
8: Socket for standard Cigarette lighter. (MY
Car is negative ground CAUTION recommended if
you are still Positive ground configuration!)
9: This is a standard "Banana Plug" for
accessories and trickle charging
(Not shown on the A/C file is that there is now
a lighted period Lucas switch in line. This is
wired directly to the battery for charging via
my charger. I also use it for a variety of
period accessories that I changed the plugs to
banana plugs...tea pot, trouble lamps,
defroster, etc.)
10: Also not shown on A/C dwg is switch
added for wipers.
There is an inline fuse block on bottom of panel
where I have added (hidden) fuses to a variety
of my wiring...Headlamps, horns, Fuel pump, ect.
Uses standard "old-school" glass automotive
fuses.
