Switch panel - pretty cool!
We had a problem on the 10CR when the headlamp switch burn out - we could get sidelights and instrument lights but not the headlamps. Thanks to some ingenious fellow Club Triumph members a temporary solution was found by using a donated switch to operate the headlamps only - this is visible in the first picture, hanging out the front of the switch panel next to the compass!
Clearly this needs to be sorted out and rally regs say we must have air horns operable by both crew members so I have been working on a solution. Work in progress on this can be seen in thesecond picture which will replace the original switch panel.
The long toggle switch for the air horns is on the left and will eventually sit between the original rectangular switches for the hazard lights and rear screen demister.
Then there will be the car compass followed by those three gorgeous LED metal toggle switches for the Cibie driving lamps, sidelights/instrument lights and then the headlamps nearest the driver.
All labelled with authentic "dymo" tape if it's still available.
I am looking forward to seeing all that in place.
