Wiper/Lights Switches Re-Located
« on: June 30, 2008, 07:27:48 PM »

I am planning on installing either a RedLine insert or a modified cluster into a 1970 Duster dash frame into my 1971 Dart GT.

With the RedLine/Custom gauge panel (filled with Speedo, Tach, Water, Oil, Volts, & Fuel gauges) there will be no room for the Wiper/Lights switches to stay in their current respective locations. I know some people have mounted them down in dash frame below the stock locations, but I was thinking of putting them to the right of the RedLine/Custom gauge panel and to the left of the heater/radio in the dash frame (see attached photo).

Has anyone tried these locations? I know I'll have to extend the Lights wiring, and possibly the Wiper wires. Do you think there will be enough clearance on the backside. Does anyone have photos of the backside of a populated (cluster/radio/heater controls) dashboard?

Please let me know your thoughts, or share your experiences!

Thanks,

Dan
