Looking to upgrade to a carbon dash after starting a small wiring fault / tidy up which has ended up in pulling most of the loom apart.

Whilst updating the dash I am also looking to change the switches to update the look. I've noticed that most new Caterham's are finished with the savage switches and Caterham have probably spent some time in researching the best switch in terms of performance, cost and reliability.

Are there any other options in terms of switches as the savage items look like standard spade terminals on the back which water could deteriorate over time with water ingress?

Further to the above which connectors would you recommend and how best to install them to prevent ingress of water.

Thanks

taffy - mate of mine had a similar concern and it turn out that Caterham have changed the switches for the lights on / off problem in the last 5 months .
