Default Where to mount switches...

I am having some problems finding a convenient place to mount switches. I currently have a line lock switch double sided taped to a weird spot. The dash boards are pretty full on these stangs.I will have possibly 4 switches by the time I'm done. Let me know if you have any suggestions..

taco bill had a really cool thing in his car. it was 4 switches mounted in one of the cup holders it makes the larger cup holder flush, and has 4 switches on it, its on one of his write ups but i think thats the best looking. or if u dont have the IUP the top left 3 "buttons" u can put them there.

Dwisforme05, I saw TacoBill's write up on that. I'm not really sold on that location. Looks a little in the way to me. I don't have the IUP so those spots are blank, I'd need to find a small enough switch to fit those spots. The toggle I have now is pretty big.



PartsBill, I've not seen that but again, it lookslike it might be inthe way.

Any other suggestions?

I thought about removing the Shaker500 and putting a smaller stereo in and mounting the switches in the unused area.

I did the same thing TacoBill did it's through Speed of Sound http://speedofsoundllc.com/05%2B%20switch%20panels.htmlit works great and it looks great they'll even custom engrave anything you want for each switch...

How do you get the wires out of the backside? Drill a hole in the cup holder?[:@]
