Toggle Switch Location Ideas
Looking for ideas on where to mount 2 or 3 toggle switches in a 72 stock interior. Not looking to chew up the interior and I want to have them looking as period correct as I can. Ash tray is already spoken for. Any ideas appreciated.

Mounted mine on the center console extention driver side, where the original rear window defroster switch is mounted. There's plenty of space behind it. (loosely fit panel and was corrected after the photo). Mine's a mandatory easy to reach rear fog light toggle switch

Excellent idea! Curious.... what are the LED lights for in the front?

have some relays behind the panel that supply power to an electric fuel pump and an ignition controller. It is handy to be able to shut off either while I'm working on something else, hence the toggles. The LED's show whether power is being supplied. The yellow LED is to an oil pressure switch which shuts off fuel if the motor stalls.
Kim72, still wondering about your ashtray. I`ve seen an MP3 port of some sort before.

I LIKE it! Also interesting is the indicators below the switches... "ignition" and "fuel pump"... where did you find those?

My electric fan override switch is in one of the two superfluous holes on the bracket that holds the trip mileage reset **** just above the left knee. Not something I'm ever hoping to need but if the time comes it's easy to reach.
The other holds the override for my DRL (turns them off completely)
This is the bracket (without the switches)
