I am looking for the OEM distance between the door post space and the front tip of the bat wing (A) as well from the leading lower edge of the front Sail part to the leading edge of the lower bat wing at the notch area.(B)
if some one has an OEM car or a Watson body they could lift these two measurments from i would be greatful.
Thank you.

so i was working on console switch panels today and thought i would show the printed ring assembly in the panel just to show how close they printed out.
keep in mind the panel is raw and will be used as a plug for a carbon fiber version, so the holes and areas around are over/undersized to accommodate the excess materials.

Hope everyone had a safe and exciting Holidays,  but time to get back to work...
last night before heading out i started this on the printer and not that it was done in high quality, you can see what it looks like in physical space rather than virtual.
the design was made by our good friend String, i made a few cosmetic changes to suit printing it in 3D other wise strange issues happen.

okay so here is the Higher Quality prints on the right and the Low Quality prints on the left.

as can be seen there is a significant difference to what an extra hour of printing and a higher resolution can do...

I am thinking that sits much higher than the Murcielago switch,  here is the switch mounted in one of Alans mounts and the printed unit right beside.

And... here they are,  i printed these a bit faster so the quality is down, but i wanted to verify they would print okay,  i will print a new set in a higher quality also.
you can see the taper that has been added by our friend String, and also the mirror switch surround was improved and is now functional.

Ah, yes that might help.

Updated ring files uploaded with a rolled edge.
Oooh , Red leather.

Hey Alan,  yes i actually made a full mould of your machined rings etc.  but these are just directly printed versions of strings files.
the edges of the rings are missing the curve, but for the most part this is a fast and cost effective method to validate the components either for fabrication or duplication etc.
i can actually make a circuit board to mount the switches to based on this part then eventually make more robust part later on when i get to that area of the build.
something i would like to try also would be the engine release handle, i believe that could be printed and possibly used directly as a final part.
here are the two side by side for comparison

The inside edge of the ring should be rolled. Wouldn't it be easier to mold one of the aluminum sents I sent you?
