here is how i mounted my air locker switchs in the hilux
just bent some 4mm alloy and used some 3mm alloy to make up some mounts to use the std stereo mounts

They come mounted in a PVC box, tech screws still hanging out of it, i had it screwed straight to my floor, and one switch was sticky taped to my gearstick, its all there Shocked

pretty homeless fabricated, but it worked. Oh yeah, they are the new bling bling switches!

tech screw it straigh to the floor like me Very Happy

Jake Ill presume you have used the square blank in the centre of dash where the electric mirror adjustment switch goes for some thing so transfer whatevers there to somewhere else. Thats an ideal spot for a locker switch close to your gearshift hand and your passengers can see that you got air lockers and be very impressed after all thats what their for Wink

front of the centre console? I have my compressor switch on the dashboard down near the heater controls and the locker switches on the little square panel just to the left of the steering column, very handy, can hit the lockers almost without taking a hand off the steering wheel.

for extra bling points get a steering wheel with stereo or cruise switches on the wheel and rig them for compressor/lockers :))
