What have you guys done with your switches?

I'm considering making something to hold them but thought I'd check out what others have done first!!

Most people put them in the head unit blank or make a heater blower blank and put them in there.

The best I have seen is a little bracket made and mounted to the gear stick mounting bolt's.

I remember Lewis had a similar switch holder in his black Saxo made from Carbon but his picture links are gone on the build thread now.

I wanted to hide all the wires so they are in the glove box. Completely impractical and unable to reach when in the seat with a harness on. Who needs to open the windows anyway.

My thinking was completely the opposite, you need them while strapped into the harnesses so has to be within reach, otherwise it's just frustraighting having to undo your harness constantly
