Id like to make a new switch panel to replace the original one with the square switches, id like to keep it the same shape etc but just have 4 or 5 rocker switches and the choke cable, id get rid of the heater nob thing as iv NEVER used it,
thinking of making a plate with the relevent holes in and spraying it orange like my car but having these switches on it for the hazards etc, i know id need a different switch for the headlights........

As has been said in previous topics about the switches, the hazard switch is rather complicated and isn't just an on off switch.
