    Help with Comp. Dash Indicator Light Placement

    Mock Up Dash.JPG


    Looking for a little feedback. Below is my final layout for my version of the competition dash. Final because it is already cut.

    You will see two 1/8" holes. One above the key and one above the steering shaft opening. One of these will be for the red charge indication. Traditional is above the key but because of my gauge spacing I thought it might look best above the steering shaft.

    Votes are appreciated.

    I kinda like it above the key. BTW, I sent you a PM on the other forum.

    Thanks,

    I'm for above the key. Can't really tell by the photo but it would look more symetrical directly above the key or spaced to look in line with the others.
