Front panel indicators + indicator bracket
Ben @ mountainmods cut this bit along with all the bezel. The holes are for fiber optic cables to fit through, so that the indicators are completely hidden when they're off. This piece mounts behind the front panel on a bracket (yes, a bracket for a bracket) that we'll see fabricated shortly.
Bracket (not bracket bracket, that's still coming.)
A bunch of LEDs with holes drilled in their tops w\ fiber optic cable strands installed. I made them long for a reason, you'll see shortly.
LEDs installed in the bracket, you can just barely see the excess fiber hanging out the bottom. I trimmed the black pieces off, they were really just there for extra fiber to hold on to, to make stripping the black coating off easier.
LEDs all installed, and then the excess fiber trimmed, and sanded flat.
An example of the point-source nature of the light.
The bracket-bracket: mushroom, mushroom
A little bending break action.
And shortly thereafter, we have this:
Trimmed with rubber u-channel.
And installed.
As far as mounting the bracket on the bracket-bracket, that'll have to wait till tomorrow... I'm beat.
