Here's my buddy's... 5 on the a-pillar...(best pic I got ATM)


Here's mine....on the front of the shorty console...




If you convert/or already have a cubby hole next to the passenger side bag switch, hidden up in there works too. just give the cubby a slap with your hand and that plastic just pops off. There's 3 7mm screws securing the bracket, then drill your holes on the "roof" of the cubby, mount your switches. BAM! hidden, somewhat easily accessible switches. And if you take the switches out, won't leave an ugly ass hole somewhere and doesn't look tacky with switches mounted.

In my 92 under the headlight switch there is a blank panel.

Thats where i mounted my starter button, my radio switch, and my amp switch.

They all look nice. Pics?

Ignore the mess of wires on the left, I kicked my CB the other day and knocked it off, and i had to pull some slack in the wires until I got it mounted back up. Its all cleaned up and purdy now...

It is also properly centered over the top of the cupholder deal on the floor, the angle the picture was taken makes it seem like its off to the right too far.

If you have the radio and heater delete option there is room for gauges and switches. Sorry, this is only pic I have.
