Well the width of mine is 10". The gauge is 2-1/16" plus I have a pushbutton on mine for the lower LEDs. Each switch bank on each side of the gauge is 3" switch end to switch end. From the outermost switch to the edge is almost an inch on each side. That is where the pushbutton is mounted on the driver side. So looking at the pictures on their site, I would say it is between 7 and 7.5 inches, leaning more toward 7.25".

The switches themselves fit within the 2" depth including the wiring, so you could probably cut the whole thing down to 2".

Are you referring to the panel with the switches touching or with space between them? I ordered the one with the switches touching in the link above.

The ones that are almost touching. Mine are almost touching because of the gauge. Since it is 3" for 3 switches, figure an inch per switch with the little tiny space in between. Add .5" per side (guessing from the picture because mine are .75") from the edge of the bezel to the first switch, and you're at 7" (or 7.5" if the edges are .75"). Add a touch more to go between the two switch banks when brought together and there you have my guess.

Here's what mine looks like. I believe the one without the gauge is the same size and hence the switches are spaced out more.

There was a guy that did the Spod switch install on the side of the overhead console. The link is from a different forum. Not sure how the site here will like it, but here it is.

I pull that all the time. If they don't want free flow of information, I'll leave. That's how I view it at least.

I've actually seen this but I'm not taking that overhead console out. It's a royal PITA. I'm not going to rule it out but I'm hopeful there's another option

I have seen a right up of installing the spod switches with a smittybilt overhead console, that might give you some ideas but Im not taking the time to search it out.

Well, Morris called today! Their warehouse in CA doesn't have it in stock. It may seem like a little and silly thing, but I hate when I order something in stock, only to find out that it isn't in stock. Which is the original reason I stopped using them to begin with. Needless to say, I canceled my order and found SPOD has this!

Universal with Modular 6 Switch Panel

Going to order this today. Seems to be the perfect resolution for someone like me
