control layouts?
86barettaguy - 26/5/11 at 08:37 PM

So, just wondering if you guys have any ideas regarding control layouts. I was aiming to use the classic toggle switches for lights and similar duties, but not sure what to use for the indicator switch(es) if not going with whatever can be found on whatever donor I find whenever I get to that point (gee, I have only been wanting to start this since 1996, why rush it). Three-way (on/off/on) dash-mounted toggle? Two aircraft-style safety switches (one for left, one for right) on the centre tunnel?

ideas, suggestions, pictures of creative solutions?

I just used a 3 way toggle switch for indicators,
ive also added buzzers to remind me they are on, as they do not self cancel

seems fine to me

Try looking on this link there's 14 'pages' of pics (unfortunately some have vanished over the years). But still plenty of ideas for you.

I've got an on-off-on for the inditators. It's orientated to the direction of the wheel. After three years I've just decided it was a bit of a reach so have extended the switch with a bit of fuel hose pushed over it so it's now at my finger tips.
