Lower Dash - redesign

[debaron]

Hi all.


I HATE my lower dash.

Every 6 months or so the headlight buttons break off behind - usually at a critical moment. The TVR design was crap.
The Hazard light switch broke off a long time go, luckily I haven't has to use it yet.

I have the 3 button design which I like, but am sick of refixing it all the time. Also I think the big bulbs and switches could be neatly condensed into smaller switch gear with LED's.

Has anyone done anything similar?

Thinking like so:

Not all switches have a standard contact configuration.
Some may be standard n/o or n/c but some may have more complex set ups such as the hazard switches.
Not sure what the case is on the Tvr.

Just found this from Engineer1949 / Brundall Motorsport. This would be perfect:

Bit pricey but these look ok.

My Chim dash was altered by the PO and looks like this, undecided anbout it, what you think?



Rebuild is still on going.......putting some fuel in next week and refitting the cooling system.

Thanks fella - Ideal actually - standard hole is 22.5mm so would fit with minimal modding.
