Dash / Tunnel

Been slowly working on the dash layout here and there when I have time:




Trimmed the stock FFR gauge visor sides and angled them out 45 degrees so they don't interfere with AC vent placement:


Switch plate layout: Horn and Start buttons will go here as well as 7 toggle switches. I am using old-style Lucas buttons for the horn and start buttons. Switches will be toggles coming out of a Quick Car 6-switch setup (thanks to GT_Rich for this idea):


Put my daughter's "Cricut" vinyl sticker printer to use and made vent/switch hole stickers to work on placement:


These will go in the FFR holes in the dash above the switchboard, the ignition hole for the key will be occupied by the Wildwood electric parking brake switch.


This is a gadget I fabricated which is a modified old-style Lucas button that actuates a Digital Guard Dog ignition switch seen underneath, so the entire panel will be "old school" but modern tech underneath, just the Lucas button will show:
