Anyone know of a UK supplier for these or something similar?

Thanks

I used them when I built mine, they sent me a big bag of samples and a number of ones I actually wanted for free

Yeah ... 99.9% sure I will! I've spent the last couple of weeks working out how to fix everything to the dash ... if you're interested I send you some drawings when I'm done!

Where you at with yours?

Dash too, bloody right pain. Using Spa dash and 3 off their gauges, and stalks from a lotus elise.
Nearly there now just got the aircon controls to sort out. Oh and then wire it all in!

I'd be interested in seeing pics of your stalk set up if you have any and don't mind? Am undecided whether to go for the vauxhall type or Ford still...

Cheers

Anything behind the steering wheel is exempt. So all of that dash pod and the stalks will not be inspected.

Will all be trimmed in leather when its finished, with a carbon fibre surround to the clocks

There's a free zone around the steering wheel of I think 130mm in SVA. So dash binnacles don't have to be 2.5mm radius...

Are those the Vauxhall Switches ? if so I see you fitted the ally arms (I bought some of EBay). I scrapped the idea as the indicator arm then becomes to heavy for the Spring loaded return mechanism, and I wanted self the canceling to work. Also you may find if you go over any large bumps in the road at speed they may come on....
Pity because they look really good, did try and take them apart to uprate the spring but they are just to fragile.... Good luck
