switch slots...

is it difficult to cut out the right size from the switch slots? what tools do you use?

 

I'd just use a dremel and go nice and slow til you get the hang of it.

 

I used a hand file....I removed about .03" from both sides...worked well.

The amount to be removed will depend on the width of the switch.

 

I used a dremmel, practically gave myself a heart attack grinding them down. Totally worth it in the end and I didn't even stratch my dash! If you don't have a steady hand a coarse flat hand file would eat through the plastic too.

Depending on the switch you will have to take more or less. If you go with the Carling Conturas like I did you have to take all but a milimeter out.

Edit: Just a tip- if you take too much out by mistake don't panic, just give the switch a wrap of electrical tape and you'll be good to go.
