Mine's a '90 model...I've opted to keep the console. The shifter up front is just too much of a stretch for me so I will attempt to mount mine in the recess where the parking brake handle resides. I will mount water temp/oil pressure gauges in the radio area. Without a console a traditional gauge mount could easily be mounted under the heater control. I want my 3 switches where I can easily replace them if the need arises. My best option is to mount them on the roll bar driver side tube using something like this...

Btw, the most durable switches I have found to date are those found in chainsaws...check your local small engine repair shop.
