Alloy Warning Lamps

Hi All,

First ever build from a (really) non-engineer so I was wondering if I could ask a question...

I'm in the process of building a Tiger Avon, and I've got to the stage of laying out the dash to decide how I want it to look. I've chosen Smiths International gauges (80mm speedo and tacho, 52mm oil pressure, water temperature, volts and fuel), so I'm a bit limited on the layout.

I quite like the look of the hoops and toggle switches like this:

The hoops are available from CBS (ouch) and the toggle switches aren't a problem - where I've run into difficulties is sourcing the lamps. As it stands I think I need the following:

Rear Fogs
Brake Test
Hazards
Main Beam
Main and Sides

All of these are available from CBS also, so that's fine but, (like the picture) I'd also like:

Start
Horn
Windscreen Wipers
Windscreen Washers

Only thing is, CBS don't do them - they suggested to look on Ebay...

CBS ones look like this...

I think the switches are made by Apem:

Their web site does show Q14 switches but, after getting through to them, I was informed that their MOQ was 25 units with a minimum spend of £300 - so they suggested contacting CBS...



Does anyone have any other potential leads for similar alloy lamps, or had I better give up on the idea? I don't want to mix and match them (especially at these prices)...

Thanks,

Peter

Doing the same as me - guards here: Classic U-shaped Toggle Switch Guards (Black Anodized Aluminum)

Much cheaper (see other items for colours)

The only horn I found is here:
14mm LED Dash Panel Warning Fog Turn Light Indicator 12V Bike Car Boat Lamp

They are not identical to the ones you chose (which I originally wanted also)
CBS sell quite a few of the others but it seems not washers.

I have not checked but try RS components.

I know they do some car stuff and are the cheapest i found for ali buttons and LED rain lights.





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
