An update on progress...
Dash needed some work. Decided awhile back that a Cole Hersee "on-off-on" switch would work for direction indicator operation, and it would seem that this solution would be OK at inspection time.
So, moved my Cole Hersee master switch from the dash panel to to an accessible spot on the passenger's side, with a bracket attached to the underside of the glovebox.
It's actually well clear of a passenger's knee, so it is quite safe. Oh, and I had to shrink my switch panel back to 3 switches only, as it was too close to the driver's knee.

So, all good with the switches, however the next problem is the speedometer fit....note the structural member going "east-west" just behind the dash panel. The tacho fits OK (just), but that gauge has less challenging rear 'topography' than the speedo


Here's the back of the speedometer, where it can be seen what will be interfering with that aluminium tube (the black tube is the odometer reset)....

Obviously, I new this problem would have to be addressed eventually, so when I have a solution through, I'll post it


Cheers!
