I haven't actually installed it yet, but I plan to use the switches that come with in the kit and mount them in the door panels. I'll cut out some metal if necessary for the necessary depth. I'm gearing up to do new speakers, power locks, alarm, and power windows. You really get spoiled by this stuff, and I find it annoying that I don't have it.

I installed one into another Westy and really liked the quality of the parts. What switches did you go with and where did you mount them?

I ended up bending my original cranks out slightly so they wouldn't hit the speaker covers that stick out about a 1/2 inch but the cranks have now broken off.
