New Switches - Old Dash - inserts?

I have the super harness for the heated seats from Matt and have 2 questions.
Difficult one first.
I would like to use the modern Puma switches which you would normally use in a modern dash with the recesses so the switch sits flush. Does anyone know of somewhere I can get an insert that i can install into the dash then fit the switch into?

Question 2

The harness links into the Puma hazard warning light switch (which i dont have) i am assuming that the three wires taken from there are live/neutral and the white/green = ignition live. Is that right?

Cheers as always

I cut 3 Puma switches into the centre panel but it was a lot of work. Looks great though

I'm not sure how your loom is configured and what current it's drawing from its splices behind the hazard switch.

However, both permanent and ignition switched 12V are available behind the centre panel on a pre-2002MY Td5.

Permanent from the lighter (purple with green stripe) and ignition from the rear wiper switch (white with green stripe).

As said, they can be bought from FirstFour on their website, or their eBay shop.

They look 'factory' with 2 x Puma heated seat switches in them -

The keyway moulding on the switch's body will need to be removed -

The centre panel that Martin cut is made of sliced ham, you're better off starting with a cut bit of alloy!

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

Thanks Martin, I do indeed have a few three switch holders for sale as well as one for the puma hazard switch.

Left over front abandoned project.

I was going to recreate Andy's cubby idea as below but have gone down a different route now.

Anyone wanting inspiration only need read his thread.
