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 have that same kit Stuart. 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?

for this issue?
