The longer pegs towards the bottom of either side, match length of the pegs where the original switches are located. This should line up nicely! Also, since I'll need to accommodate the double din, the single din internal cage needs the bottom removed. I more than likely will design a double din cage that will use the original 1 din open cage and act as a extender guide, further adding structurally.
I believe next I will be drafting/creating the rear layer mount of the ash-tray switch relocation (This will probably be the most complex part yet, given no direct reference to go off of), trying to maintain the use of the 2-4 pegs that are attached with screws to the base dash/floor console base. From past research... I believe 1 if not both of the top screw mounting pegs of the ash tray may have to be removed/altered to allow the full bottom recess to accommodate the double din (and if so, I may try to put a extender and/or shorten-er from the screw locations - hopefully this will allow me enough clearance to not be an issue). Will know more once I have a better overall rendering to play with.
Enjoy!

When I did my mods to the face plates I found the Double Din headunit fouled the ash tray module and I had to cut the rear of the ash tray part of the module shorter. The module itself did not get too close to the posts to which the ash tray module was secured to, so I can use all four posts.
My current design of a one piece bezel will use the bottom two posts to secure a plate to which the bezel will attach to, this is because the ash tray uses the rear of the posts to mount against and the one piece bezel cannot as it has to swing down, hinging on the very top location posts.
