Finally done the centre (laugh) console....

A bit DIY looking but I couldn't figure out a better way to do it.

Finally got the dash all buttoned up with access covers under the dash etc. Got the IVA mans mirrors in position, lets hope he like them.

These switches for rear fog and hazard ended up being a real pita to get working so be aware. The switches were £22 from caterhamparts but then i discovered they were only momentary switches and they needed little actuator blocks to actually do anything useful. The two spade contacts that come with it are just for the switch LED. I thought these blocks would do the latching so the hazards would stay on but no they did not. Bit of research and I discovered I'd need latching relays costing £22 each!! Sod that, these switches are getting really expensive. Any how I discovered you could get a latching version of this switch for £6.50 each but I'd need to swap over all the shiny stuff and LEDs and modify the end of the switch to be able to make it function but finally got it all working. Phew! Bloody things cost be around £35 each, unbelievable.



edit: wish I'd got those allen bolt straight and even. I'll have colour them black of something.

Did a brake test on some concrete, fronts appeared to lock up evenly first.



Harness bar is on and I've routed the wires for the rear lights.



Just the back end to do really.

This company sell black stainless Allen head bolts but they cost about £1 each.
They are good quality but I only used a few as they are so expensive.
