Td5 dash
Simple question - is it possible to fit standard type Td5 switched in the recessed section of the dash below the radio ?
Not sure if there is enough space as the switches are fairly long
If any one has done this - any pics ?
mcma1 is selling switch holders so it could look neat

There should be enough room below the radio for switches and enough room behind too.
Heres my dash I modified before I changed to a puma dash. The switches below the CD player worked perfectly and nothing fowled them.

I would however, just to be safe, check there is enough room behind yours. As mine was a 300 with complete td5 dash, although on our td5, there doesn't seem to be much where those switches are.

I've moved my radio downwards using a Mud panel. If my radio fits there then you can be quite sure your switches will 😊
