Switch mounts

Let's see where everyone put the switch. I'll post my pic as soon as I fill up my CD on my camera.

I am mounting mine today, not sure where. I also ran a small LED to the switch so that I might actually be able to see the numbers! I could just picture having a mudstain (I mean Mustang) pull up to me at a light and I flip to switch to valet mode instead of my alcohol injection map and I get stomped by a Ford. Now that would **** me off. Well worth a $1.00 led.

Heres my .02, I had a buddy cut a piece of aluminum and polished it for the 2nd din in the center console underneath the radio. Granted its visible to everyone and a little concerned over people pressing buttons. I also have to install two other switches for my video. When I get it all finished I'll get pics on here.

I wouldn't consider mine a "mounting location", but I have mine underneath my ashtray. I only change maps for valet, or security when I travel, so I don't need constant access to it. I would like to see some of the pics on the others that have posted. Definately the one with the led. <--- Nice touch, never thought of that one.

I had concidered putting mine inside the coin tray on the back wall. I also plan to put a LED over the top of mine.

Where do you think I got the idea? I have no original thoughts!

[QUOTE=BSREVOLUTION]did you have to cut to make the tuner fit?[/QUO

Yeah, I figure that I could always buy a new shifter console if I ever wanted to return the car to stock. I was going to buy an A/F guage for the tuner, but the tuner lite does not have an analog output and I wanted to see the display. It actually fits well where it is. You need to trim the console to fit the width of the tuner and cut a hole a little behind the ash tray all the way to the end of the console. I used velcro fabric secured to the tuner and the underside of the lower DIN. Velcro tape does not work, You need to epoxy the velcro to both sides.
