ok went to a fellow AP members place today to check brackets and fitting and made some progress under the hood. We were going along with putting the boot section over the switch but we worked out we would have to chop some of the back of the vehicle out which wasn't ideal. There was room under the bonnet for the switch so now changed direction to mounting the bracket using the previous whomobile screw holes but now with the bracket resting as well on the switch bracket and the extending out the back and resting on the ramp so lots of rest load points. We will slot the mounting points in the bracket as the lhs is angled compared to the rhs so allows the owner to adjust and change the look. We also will slot the bench seat as once the windscreen is on this will not be seen but this will also allow the owner to adjust the angle to suit their liking.

In addition moving the vehicle's bonnet over the switch fills a void in the back lhs corner and still clears everything.

The bracket will be slightly visible but you will have a colour choice of black, red or blue to suit the ramps.

Also having the bonnet over the switch allows for wiring to come up to the cabin or headlights without being seen with room to spare.
