              Yeah, you ought to do a short write up on the ac converter. The converter install looks really good and clean!

                  Its really pretty easy i just started with a cheap converter then removed the inside added some wire to the plug in part as showen

                  I cut all the holes with a hot knife and lots of test fitting ill try to dig up some more picks so I can do a proper wright up

                      Looking good William! I like your converter, too. I need to install mine (got a small one a long time ago). Something like that will come in handy for small AC plug ins.

                            you need to heatsink those MOSFETs or you'll burn out the inverter and possibly damage the center console. the MOSFETs are supposed to be attached to the inverter's case (heatsink), which is also a ground... a better arrangement would have been to leave the inverter as is and add extentions from the AC plugs to the console plugs.

                              He could always replace them with a switching regulator equivalent, too.
