Going to the “way back machine”. Yes, all of 2.0 switches were reoriented. See pic.
As I recall the discussion. The Aq panels are significantly thicker than the 16ga steel on an OE cab. When oriented with the mounting hole outboard, one of the mounting holes would have been into a panel. You can see from the pic how close it sits to gauge cluster and how close it is to the outside of the dash. I don’t think you’ll run into that on you OE dash.
Spot on, the extra thickness on the material makes for a pretty stout tub but also causes some “gotchas”.

Cab going back together.

Why do I feel the urge to stroke these parts and say ‘my precious’?
It is a very substantial gauge mount and impressive quality. I did place it over the stock headlamp switch and there is a bit more space between the mount and existing dash

You should see them in the wild. I have an uncontrollable urge to put my finger prints all over it.

Just a heads up. 2.0 Headlight switch was located to the left of the steering wheel. If your headlight switch is in the same location, you may need a “jumper” section of wiring to allow for the move over to the right. I think @Coolerman was the go to source.

Spent some time with “JR the Younger” at the upholstery shop. Kicking ideas around over a chocolate 
. Different stitching, piping, bead and seams were all reviewed. 2.0 retains the YOTA center console complete with the Con Fer storage console. . Using the armrest pad as a test mule 
, he worked up different example’s as a visual aid.
2nd pic from the original pleated armrest cover. 3rd pic, sew down seam sans pleats. Also, worked up a couple of ideas on the door cards, COA TBD.
The MGV material I selected is in the shop and ready. Went the with the “tone on tone” look and I think it’s going to work out very well. I’ll see if I can get them to work up a small sample patch as a ref.
