Re: Accuair e-level Rocker Switch placement

I know most go for the touchpad, I was just hoping there were a couple of creative cheap bastards like me out there.

Back 6 or 7 years ago when I ordered my Accuair, I didn't want the touchpad hanging out on the seat. I figured I would make a bracket to put it under the dash pointing at the floor. A buddy of mine did exactly that and hated having to lean forward to reach it. He ended up adding the touchpad and made a pretty slick mount that bolts to the floor right in front of his bench seat. I could do something similar, but I am too hard-headed!

Now they have the slick ashtray mounts for the touchpad for $300. If they had something like that back then I would have ordered the touchpad from the beginning. Now it would cost me another $640 to get that setup ($340 to add the touchpad), and I just don't see it as worth that much to have a hidden control.

I think I will try to make a bracket for it that hangs off of the bottom of the seat frame and points it towards the driver's door. Hopefully that will be easy to reach while driving.
