Yeah it does. That opens up a lot of mounting possibilities. Turned out better for you that they didn't have it in stock.

They have a picture of the length, it's about 6.5" long. Perfect! And I've got an idea of just where to mount it.

So here is the result: JK mounting bracket and the universal switch bezel. I'm pretty dang proud how this turned out. The first three switches are led: floods, spots and 20" bar. 4th is my CB and 5/6th will be my future locker locations. If anybody needs a SPOD location on the old style interior, this location is my favorite by far.

Looks good. Where did you mount the switches though?

Nvm. I was typing while you were adding more pics. That came out awesome!

I could only upload one picture at a time from my phone. Then go back and "edit" the post to add another picture. It's up now though.

I like it. Non-obtrusive. Easy access.

And away from the passenger.

Very nicely done. Do you plan to add the OTRATTW switches for that finishing touch? Oh, and then wire it into the dash lights, LOL.

LOL I'm very happy to have it away from the passenger. Thanks, man.

I would like to do both of those actually, Mark. I'll be holding off until the axle swap is complete though. I also need to research how to connect them to the dash lights, I would really like them to be illuminated without being "on", if anybody knows where to look, I'm sure you do! Lol

Excellent point. I re-wired my sPOD panel light control to disable the switches unless that pushbutton is also depressed. Didn't need a passenger reaching up to the front locker switch and pushing it while asking, "Is this for locking the front doors?" while tooling down the Interstate.
