So I have an idea I want to work on. But to get started I need a 3d scan/cad file (I don't even know the proper terminology) of the 87-93 hazard/defrost switch....

Any one have such a thing or the ability to create it?

Don't want to give my idea up just yet, but if it works out I will

You'd need a 3D scanner to turn it into a CAD file, or model it from scratch using CAD software and a good set of calipers and a lot of free time.

Figured I'd update.... Installed term x and wanted a mount for the 3.5" display. Didn't want to stick one to the windshield or use one that was available, as all the ones that I could find made you use a vent and I use my ac quite frequently

I don't use the rear defrost (the grid is bad anyway) and I really don't know the last time I've used hazards on any vehicle I own, so ... Measured up the hazard/defrost switch and the screen and came up with this.

Very happy with it
