Mounting switches on console

[matria]

I had not seen this done this way so I thought I would share what I did.

I needed a way to mount 3 switches somewhere but I did not want to put a new hole in my console. My rear defroster did not work so I had that switch space plus the empty spot next to it to use. Looking for a way to make it look as natural as I could I wanted to use something that matched the texture of the console. I had a few extra covers for the rear of the console and saw that it would fit with just a bit of trimming of the console. Next job was to find switches that will fit. I bought the switches from Delcity, www.delcity.com, no reason other then variety and ease of ordering. I needed a SPST On-Off for the driving lights, a SPST Mom-Off for water pump and a SPDT Mom-Off-Mom to control the antenna. Delcity had all 3 that matched. I spaced out the holes, drilled and mounted. It fits well and works for my needs. Hope this might help someone.

While I like what you did, given your desire to make it look natural, why didn't you just some original switches for another purpose?
