68 XR7 Restomod ideas appreciated

[leonbray]

I’m in the middle of updating the 68 XR7. So far

• add dual 12" fans, one wired to come on with the a/c and both wired to come on with temp hits 90C
• 130 amp alternator
• Sanden a/c compressor
• a/c on/off switch - a/c works on any setting
• electric washers, operated from foot pedal, using a 69 washer bottle
• larger a/c condensor, requiring dryer to be relocated
• upgraded the lights to more powerful QH
• relay pack for fans, a/c compressor, horn, washers
• fuse box for all of the above
• fog light relay for later additionof xr7-G front pan
• RCCI relays and headlight door drivers
• Electric headlight doors

The wiring has been run into the cabin and I need some advice on where to mount the following

• a/c on off swith
• engine fan on/off switch
• engine fan on indicator
• fog lamp on/off switch
• fog lamp on indicator
• rear demist on/off switch
• rear demist on indicator
• trunk remote push button

I’m using separate indicator lights as I am switching the ground on the relays to provide power to the particular component and switches with LED indicators don’t like the power running that way - they like the positive switched not the negative

Any ideas on where the switches / indicators could be mounted.

Leon if you are not using the ashtray you could fabricate a panel to mount most if not all of your switches. This panel would be concealed when the ashtray door is closed keeping a stock appearance. Just a thought.

Leon, will this car have a console?

Is it getting a RHD conversion, or does it already have one?

What is a rear demist?

Yes it has a console - XR7

Already RHD

Rear demist = rear screen heater

I was going to move the heater controls to the ashtray area but putting them on a panel behind the door is a neat solution

My only thought is to mount the trunk remote away from the other switches in a hard to reach place so you don’t hit it accidently.

I hide a lot of stuff like you’re describing inthe glove compartment. However, it does sometimes render the glovebox useless. It’s the “price of coolness” I supposed." Obviously I support the re-use of the ashtray area. but using a compartment in the console is a great idea as well.

I don’t want to hijack the thread. It is that air ride controls in the glovebox Mark? Cool!

You are correct sir. No worries, though, it could also be a 68 RestoMod idea.
