    Locker Switches. Where have you put them?

    I am fitting a locker compressor and I am now ready to fit the switches.

    I have three Carling switches. Who has this and where did you mount them.

    I was thinking mounting them where the coin tray is but would have to fabricate some sort of bracket.

    Another option would be side ways in the overhead map bit.
    They jam in there nice and tight, but I have concerns that the illumination light could be annoying as it would be close to eye level.
    Dave.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Slunnie put his on the sunroof switch blank, which obviously doesn't work for you as you've got sunroofs

    You can make them fit in a D1 switch bank IIRC, although depending on the size of your switches it might get crowded.

    What about these square ones from Mulgo. I have always wondered since I have seen them if they would fit.

    Land Rover Auxiliary Switches for Defender 2002 onwards | Buy 4x4 Land Rover Toyota Nissan Accessories and Parts Online Store | Expedition Centre Australia by Mulgo

    Pending your spec level you may have two spare slots in the dash where yourwindscreen delisted and hill descent control switches are?

    Would make it look nice and neat and give it that "factory look".

    Cheers, Chris

    I did this for accessories like lightbars and the winch isolator except i got a couple hazard light and HDC switches from the wrecker as they were about 10% of the cost of the Mulgo ones.

    Cruise control switches also work. For my lockers i got the d1 insert for the ashtray and modified it to accept the ARB locker switches.
