The plates are sold with the switches so you will probably have to buy a set new switches if you need to replace them. I don't think they are very expensive.

Bumpy my old mate

a good mate of mine Ranger does CNC cutting and could do it for you. Alternatively he could even recut your whole dash and engrave the on/off into the dash, much neater and very beautiful

email me pics and I'll ask him to give a quote

Yes,

any style faceplate. If you trace it out on card-board and specify where you want what he can cut and engrave it.

He can even do multiple colours. Say you want red with black writing etc he has this multilayer coloured vinyl material that he sticks on top of the aluminium. The top layer will be red and the bottom will be black. The CNC machine will cut down through the top layer to expose the bottom just for the writing. So you will have all your red top surface with black engraved writing that will never wear out. 8)

His name is Ranger on this forum

Hi Morph

Thanks for the advice; I sure wish I knew about it before I had all the instruments fitted!

I did however manage to find some inexpensive switches with the backing plates and will fit them this weekend.

Regards
