Viento switchgear

I am about to start wring my dash in a dash to get the beast on the road for Le Mans this year- still long way to go but end is in sight I think. Rover V8- I ordered the dials from Luego a year of so ago and wanted to ask for help regarding the switchgear- I have seen some nice layouts and like the look the of the 'bright6 warning light module I have seen on a couple of cars- any suggestions about what best switches to use- and what is useable from the Sierra column- e.g. hazard switch lights etc- what can I keep and what addional switches and warning lights do i need? The plastic rocker swiches look nash compared to etched ally ones although these are more expensive.
I want to keep it as simple as possible and look good- ideas?

I will post some pictures next week

I used the column switchgear on mine and it all seems OK, though it did take some headscratching and a decent meter to make sense of it all. All you should need on the dash is the rad fan switch (if using) the fog lamp switch and the heater fan controls - everything else is available on the column.

I'll try and post some pics of my instrument layout when I'm at home - I'll also see if the scrappy notes that I made myself for the column make enough sense to be OK for anyone else to look at

Cheers

Or if the timing works out I may be able to come over and help - I'm only 20 mins from Letchworth.
