New dash bezel deleting wiper switch on dash

[wildone454]

I now have a tilt wheel with wiper switch on it can I get a dash bezel without a wiper switch on the dash to delete hole will the head light switch line up?

I have both, can compare but I’m 99% sure the headlight switch is in the same spot

For some bizarre reason, when they moved the wiper switch from the dash onto the column lever in 1984, the headlight knob moved up to roughly where the dash wiper switch used to be. I went through this when I put a newer column into my 1981.

Maybe you can use the old wiper switch location for some other type of switch (fog lights, cargo lighting, etc.). Might take a little fabrication because the hole is pretty big, but it could work.

Measure the hole with some calipers and mock something up in Fusion 360. Then head to your local library and 3d print a cool cover for it
