Show off your switch / dash mod's - where do I put these?

[GCRad1]

Hey 80-Series Crew,

I would like some inspiration as I am looking for a place to put these and thought I would ask you guys to post images of your dash-switch-mods please!

These are my first two switches but I am sure there are going to be more to following. So I am looking for a little insight and inspiration of what I should be thinking about beyond these two switches.

Please post some images!

I have put my additonal switches in the blank spots in the dash.
I'm going to add a sticker above each switch that shows it purpose.

It looks like it is the housing for an overseas (non-US) 80 that has a sub-tank. Great idea. Here are a couple posts with pictures.

Looks like the part number is here, but I can't verify that.

Also saw a thread that says you need the "short visors" for this to fit. There is at least one thread that shows a way to do this to your existing visors.

Another option might be the visor shelf that gofast was working on, haven't seen an update on it for a while, but the single DIN location could easily be used for switches too.

I was thinking about doing what you did with the switches in the stock cubby/cup holder location above the radio. How did you piece that together

Nakman sells them. His web site name currently escapes me but he has a few goodies.

I have a RHD so there uses to be a compass and altimeter there. Once that was out I used some 1/8" plexiglass to make the switch holder.

Cheers

Don't you have ZOMBIES where you live!

I just needed a switch to fill a spot and my boys got a kick out of it.

Another centre console.

Here is my Winch Power Switch (red) and the Difflock Switches:

Why does they have a tape on them? No idea

And here is the Display and Switch for the additional Fueltank

Another centre console.

Excellent use of those useless coin slots. Nice.

 

[scrowley]

Nicest one IMO. Very factory look for a one off piece. Nice work.
