As with everything what started as a slight change of a few things on my dash i am now finding myself unhappy with the cheap switches put in by the previous owner/builder  :-\

Can anyone recommend a supplier of some snazzy switches as i need one for the lights, hazzard switch and wipers plus the wash?

Don't need anything for the ignition or start button as got plans and that's sorted  ;-)up

Kenny,

There are several options. Savage do a very nice range of switches. The std beetle one with polished Ali nibs also look very nice. I've got these on mine and someone made me the trim rings for the back



As for the washers, I'm using a twin stalk beetle set up but have removed the std air pressure set up and replaced it with an electrical switch which powers a screenwash pump. Relatively simple to do actually and means one less switch on the dash..

Thanks for the info guys, now i'm spoilt for choice  :-\ decisions, decisions got loads spinning around in my head now  :D

Ben I like the idea of your suggestion to put another stalk on with washers, maybe i can get one with wiper and wash then do away with two switches on the dash.... plus helps my OCD having a stalk on both sides of the column as not very symetrical at the moment with just one on the left!  ::) ;) ;D
