Default What switch panel for tbrake, 2step, and line lock?

What is everyone using for this type of application? I'd like to have the 2step have a switch that gives it power and it be wired with the trans brake so that I'm able to limit the rpm and still hold steady like I'm sure many have done. If someone could post up some pics and tell me where to get the switch panel that would be great.

That's a good idea considering I took my cruise module out. How would I be able to do that?

This is my high tech control panel, red aircraft type toggle switch is for the line lock, button on the console to the rear of the shifter is for the trans brake (2 step is always on with the brake) and the small toggle switch next to the red switch is for the BS3 data logger.

I can see them all and they are within easy reach strapped in with a hans device on, sometimes simple is good. I have used the cruise button but its a bit awkward for me with a manual valve body trans.

Right now, all I have is the tbrake and 2step and those two don't have any relays. Do you know the proper way to wire them up?

Here is my setup. I have changed the switches around a little but it still looks the same. Transbrake button activates the tbrake, 2 step, and the launch boost trigger for the AMS-500. Button labeled Nitrous is now fuel pump. Bottle heater is now the linelock. Fuel pump is now AMS500 activation until I get an electronic WOT switch for it. I have since deleted the button labeled linelock by the cigarette lighter. I have also deleted the dash cover as I replaced the cracked dash pad. LOL. The buttons across the top are all fog light switches. I went to the junk yard and grabbed a few and snapped them right in. Looks pretty factory.

I'm the tuner. My friend Steve does all the wiring. I couldn't tell you what relays do what or anything. I can tell you that that center console was a huge pain in the *** to make. It started life as an M6 console and with the use of bondo, modeling glue and some plastic, I was able to mold it to look like that. This was my first and last time doing soemthing like that. Took me like 8 hrs.
