Hump pack & switch relocation

[mcvickj]

Since I already had the front end of my Savage torn apart to install the MP Servo Saver I decided it was time to install a hump pack with an onboard charge jack. That way I don't have to bother taking the cover off.

The first thing I had to do was relocate the switch. The reason for this is because I wanted the charge jack to sit there. Since I don't plan on installing reverse in my Savage this was a perfect place.

Now I could install the charge jack where the switch used to be. I had to use a utility blade to shave some plastic off to make it fit.

I was happy with the location but it wasn't very secure. I didn't have any nuts for screws this small and I wasn't sure if anything existed. So what I ended up doing was tearing apart the old switch and cutting the metal ears off to use at "nuts." It worked perfectly.

Here is a picture of me getting ready to stuff everything in under the cover.

Here is a picture of the final result with just the charge jack showing.

All I need to do is stick my finger thru the TVP on the left side. It's pretty easy to get to. Even with my fat fingers!
