There are no mounting points so yo will have to work out how to mount it to your chassis. I think I'm going to go with Cage nuts, or perhaps weld nuts on the bottom of the chassis ,fender style.
So, the red switches arrived. I'm glad I've done it. Looks great. Just waiting for a pilot light to finish off the front. Aesthetically I'm not sure about the cliff jack....I know it will work reliably though.
In the interests of NOT using a cliff jack. How would I wire this up for the FET? the on eon the layout as double connections on the outside and a single in the middle, this has the opposite.

For the fet you need those special switching jacks that can do dual level of switching between them to setup the ground correctly. I had to reread the schematic like 10x to realize just any jack wouldn't work. I had to search and find the right jack for mine on the forums and found the following:
it shows a nice layout posted by structo that shows what exactly needs connecting too. I got the kobiconn jack from mouser linked by krinkle at the last post of the first page.
Curious.... Has anyone ever tried to build a 2nd or 3rd gen ODS without the rock/jazz switch, so that it is just wired straight as if the rock position were engaged?

Yes, Ive done this on a few builds. I personally never use the jazz setting so it does save a small bit of complexity. You are essentially eliminating the 100K/.05 cap on the Jazz/Rock switch. At that point you don't even need a switch (duh lol) and can free up space for a PAB/Mid boost toggle - which I find to be more useful.
shame I haven't got a load of NOS components.
