Mounting flat mute switch?

[maty j]

Hows everyone mount theres? I've took an LED out of my car and It's left a hole big enough to get the button through but then It looks naff so I'm looking for some kind of cover? Anyone done something similar?
TIA,

I'll get some later but It's basically just a hole and I have the flat muton coming out of It and only the wire Is left In the hole going down under the fasia. It's all mounted within easy reaching distance near the gearstick. I'm hoping to have just the mute button showing..

The only reason to use a flat mute switch is because you're going to surface-mount it. Since you have a hole there already, you should probably choose a through-hole mounted switch. You should be able to find something that will look better and last longer than the flat switch.

The flat switch is for if you don't want to drill holes. I didn't feel comfortable drilling a hole so I just got a flat mute button.

I just picked It up on ebay attached to a direct wire cord. I'm not too woried If It looks bad but I like to do a tidy job. It's In a better place than where I had It before - more accesable but would be even better If I could tidy It up. Will get some pics up anyway.

On the back of the turn signal stalk.

Mine is on the top of my wiper stalk. I'm sure it may be different to yours but its a tiny switch held on by some 3M sticky tape and a small cable tie half way down the stalk.

Both the switch and the cable are black so they are very hard to see unless you know what you are looking for and I can easily mute my V1 without taking my hand off the wheel .

Come to think of it, I could probably program my V1 while driving with this easily enough but I would never try that of course.

Safety first .

Depending on the size of the hole, safe n sound makes a mute switch that is a pusher style.

That's the type I should of got FC Not too worry It does the job fine as Is.

That's what mine Is like Kev - held on with 3m tape. It's In a better position now than I had It before just looks untidy. Saying that the LED Is out now so I'd be left with a small hole anyway.

I know.... I'll get those pics later....
