im slowly changing panels in the interior, tunnel is nearly done and im moving on up to the dash.
at the moment it has 2 sets of switches, on the right of the wheel are metal toggle switches for main headlights, horn, fan, indicators and flash. on
the left are hedlights, hazards, rear fog, wipers and washers.
im planning on moving all the switches to the centre (see attatched picture) on a little low console bit.
my question is are there any important things that an mot inspector will look at with regards to the location or type of switches.
on the drawing the lower row of silver are toggle switches and the top row of black ones are old style pull switches.
cheers
chris

MOT's not concerned with 'interior projections' and they should be fine.
my bmw failed on the horn not working, was something to do with the metal ring in the steering wheel boss, it only worked in one position. instead, i
put a momentary toggle switch in front of the gear stick. he liked it, and said mots aren't worried about switches and stuff, or where they are
like iva is
ok thats great thanks
Fog will need dash warning light/telltale
edit - as will indicator and hazards.

at the moment the car has an acewell digidash, this has the indicator, fog, hazard, main light, warnings on it. as im slowly replacing bits i will do
away with this and end up with some nice classic guages and warning lights. for now it is staying.
the switch its self doesnt need to illuminate does it?
No, as long as their is a warning/tell tale.
cheers
