Default where to mount electric cutout switch??

i got all the wiring done, i just need to figure out a place to mount the switch. i tried the ash tray but i have an auto and there is some black rod below the ash tray that wont let the switch go down far enough to sit in the ash tray. i have the qtp electric cutout and the bottom of the switch hits whatever that black rod is going to the shifter. anyway, just didnt know if anyone knew a way around this. or what are some other places to mount the switch. by the way, i will be using the ASR pink wire for a hot to tap into.

Yup I ran into that problem as well I just left the switch sit in there because I was to lazy, once I get my car back I am going to make a holder of some sort to hold it into the ashtray.

I have a DMH cutout and put their switch in my cigarete lighter location- since I never use it. looks real good in there, and it is a perfect fit.

You can go to auto zone or a similar store and buy a new switch and wire it back up.

I put mine to the right of the cigarette lighter in the bottom corner. It's in the perfect spot to bump it open or closed with your middle finger when your palm is on a short stick shifter.
