Default Dash Lights & Switches

Hi all. I have some questions regarding the minimum requirements for dash lights and switches for my cobra build.

Right now I have the following gauges:

Speedo
Tacho
Oil Press
Water Temp
Volts
Clock

So with all that I am wondering what switches and lights I need to install on my dash. I am thinking that I would need (as a minimum):

Switches:
Ignition
Lights - Low and High
Indicator - Left/Right
Windscreen Wipers
Windscreen Wash
Horn
Hazard

Dash Lights:
Brake Fail
High Beam
Park Brake Light
Indicator
Low Oil Press (do I need this if I have a gauge?)
Alternator Warning
Check Engine (I hope the ECU will outout something for this)

Note: I was not planning on installing a heater or demister given the no roof condition. I believe this is acceptable to the aussie rulemakers?

What am I missing? Should I have a master electrical switch? Do I need a fuel pump switch?

Many Thanks, I appreciate your comments
