    Front dash area & diff lock switches

    I've been trying to work out where abouts to place the three ARB switches in the cab (compressor, front and rear). I've been thinking of putting them in between the radio and the steering wheel, as there is a big blank area there.

    However I believe that there's a steel plate or insert halfway in there which would make it difficult. Has anyone here fitted switches in this area before? And if so, would you mind sending some advice as to how you did the job?

    Cheers
    Chris

    Chris,
    Here are a couple of photos of my diff lock buttons.




    I just drilled a big hole and used my die grinder to grind it out to the shape required. I also used the ARB switch mounting plate, which I cut the tab off for the mounting screws and drilled a couple of holes in it to run some screws through. The metal plate running through the dash is actually good, as that means that the nuts on the back of the mounting screws shouldn't pull through.

    Thankyou - that's exactly where I'm looking at mounting the switches - short of going with the mud console which I'm looking at.

    Cheers

    Get yourself one of these from www.mud.uk about $160 delivered but excellent steel construction.
