Ideas for mounting relay blocks and light switches

[avid427]

I'm looking for ideas on mounting auxiliary lighting switches, fuse block and possibly relay blocks for LED strip lighting under the running boards, on the ledge behind the seat and under the front of the seat without drilling holes or making mods.

Does anyone have pictures of non-destructive dash-mounted switch or button panels to share?

I'd post pics of the intended result and the relays and buttons I'm considering, but I don't have enough posts yet

Edit to add: Not sure how I posted pics without having 10 posts, but I'll take the win! The attached pics are the LEDs temporarily set up with a power supply. Was hoping to get set up prior to "Trunk or Treat" for Halloween, but probably won't make it.

I put my terminal strip, on the fire wall, just above the steering column for my turn signals. Worked good gave direct access to the underneath of the car. Also easy access to 6/12 volts. I used a corrugate plastic conduit to protect the wires, (local auto supply)

Get some of those rare earth magnets off ebay.

I would put everything under the seat (that’s what I have done) with the switches, buttons, etc in the seat riser at the front of the seat. True, you have to remove the seat bottom to assess the components but that way everything is out of sight.

Love those! I found some plastic discs that use rare earth magnets and have a 1/4-20 bolt sticking out. They're good mounts for 4' LED lighting strips inside a shipping container.

I'm leaning toward under-seat mounts for the fuse and relays. I am considering 1" angle aluminum mounted to the steering column with u-bolts for the buttons.

I was thinking maybe someone had made a panel that uses the existing holes under the dash as attachment points.

I made a little switch panel that mounts under the dash rail, attached to existing bolts. I can send you a sketch if needed. I mounted a fuse block on the firewall so its out of the way but easily accessable.

Very tidy!

For a fuse block, I made a small bracket that mounts to the inside of the firewall using 2 of the terminal box screws. I run the supply wire from the starter, inside the wiring harness, through the terminal box and the fuse block is right there.
