LWBS (918 Seat) Switch Bezel

[Tom]

@Crazy Eddie commissioned me to come up with a replacement bezel for the switch on the side of the light weight bucket seats. Apparently, some folks have been breaking these bezels putting on his bolster covers and have learned the hard way that the bezel is only available as part of the whole switch assembly for several hundred dollars. The irony is that there is no need to remove the bezel to install his bolster covers, as he stresses in the instructions! But for those who don't read instructions, this part is for you!

Do I need to make a post to get this file??

Yes, but you should be good now.

A mate of mine just broke one. Thanks Tom for making this 3D print file.

Should the Z axis be a little bit longer so that it fits over the seat covers better?

I was planning to try that, but figured I'd post this one first as faithful to the original as possible. On Ed's car, he doesn't even try to smash the switch all the way in, but rather just clips it into the leather only. It looks better that way in my opinion, without stretching the leather, etc. The only issue with adding a little space for the extra leather is that it would mean the switch itself sits deeper in the bezel than normal. Once you clip the switch into the seat, its position relative to the seat is set, so the only way to buy room is to raise the bezel a bit (so the switch itself would be more inset/deeper than normal relative to the bezel). Hard to know until we try if that would look weird or not.
