Installing the Numeric Racing short shifter. I'm considering adding a riser to it as well - however, that would ultimately lead to having to completely get rid of the center console - which, leads me to the relocation of the window switches,...
Anyone done this? Seems like I can uninstall them from the console and put them into the blanks on the dash. Not a big deal if I have to extend the wires...
I relocated mine to the heated seat switch locations in the center 'bat wing' when I removed my console for the Numeric install. It was simple. Of course, my bolted RaceTech 4009s don't require heat.

I assume that means that you left your console out as well?
So to follow up on this - it was a pretty easy relocation. The hard part was physically getting the large window switch plugs routed up through the dash.
Either way - now the window switches are on the dash, the Numeric is installed, and the console is currently left out - leaving the car 9.8# lighter.

The journey of a track car.....
when you relocated the window switches, did you have the shifter uninstalled? My wiring appears to disappear into the carpet and under the shifter. If so, any issues with just unbolding the shifter, relocating the wires, and bolting it back up?

To run the wires under the carpet - yes - take the shifter out. It'll make it so much easier. There is no issue in doing that.

I guess I’m asking if you found that your wires WERE run under the carpet? Mine looks like the loom goes under the carpet. Secondarily, if I unbolt the shifter, do I have to worry about any sort of re-calibrating it when I bolt it back in?

Ahhh!
Sorry about that... yes. The wires were already under the carpet. Rather than trying to force the whole switch back under the carpet (and since it's a track car) I just made a small slice in the carpet along the top. If you are replacing the console you'll never see it.
If you simply unbolt the shifter - no... you won't have any re-alignment issues. I have done it on my 997 and 996 multiple times without ever having an issue.

no, but you might have to untangle the loom to get enough slack. I was able to run the wires up to the horseshoe with enough slack to easily connect them outside of it.

Window Switch Relocation?
