Opinions on my switch panel for SVA please
I've just covered my switch panel (which sits on the tunnel and meets the dash) and it occurred to me that the led lights might not be SVA
friendly. I have used 3mm foam under Alcantara, Savage switches and led indicators.
What do you think?

I think you'll be alright as "sharp edges" applies except where projection is less than 3.2mm from the panel.
So you could have very small spikes if you wanted!?!?
Even if they are close to 3.2mm I bet this reduces when you apply "light pressure".
Good luck with it, you really look to be doing a top quality job on the build.

I thinks you will be fine.
the only thig I would say is the brake warning light has to have the correct symbol over the light. (excalmation mark inside a circle all in brackets)

Isn't that what mine is then?

That is the only storage area in the car! It is in fact a cubby hole for loose change etc. Ever tried getting into your jeans pocket for toll fees
when you are deep in a bucket seat with no room to move?
Thanks for all the positive comments guys - I will carry on and hope Mr SVA is as good as you lot

That looks great  .
Switch layout looks vaguely familiar lol
 
1st electrics test
LEDs look good, are they just going to be tell-tales for all the other switches?

That should pass. I think since it looks so good, the sva man may not quite be as strict with the radii anyway. From what I can gather, if the car
looks like you put loads of effort in, they may overlook some minor faults.

Hey, great minds and all that
I was thinking about configuring the savage switches for dual brightness but when I found these blue 12v led's I thought they would be easier
(and more visible in daylight) as telltales although one or two will be dummies and are just there for symmetry.
