November 18th 2012 - Dashboard switches & lights

Not much progress this weekend due to Matthew having a new and much more powerful go-kart which he kept pointing forward for almost 50% of the time, bending two steering arms and a bumper in the process!

Given the limited remaining time and the need to keep some momentum on the build, I opted for the easy indoors job of fitting the warning lights and switches to the almost-time-for-it-to-go-on-at-last dashboard.  This was simply a matter of working out what goes where and using a craft knife to cut holes in the vinyl where there was already a suitable size hole in the aluminium backplate.


For IVA, the switches will need labels which, in theory, Westfield should have provided.  I can't seem to find any though, so it will probably require a quick browse of the Internet.

Full complement of lights and switches look easy to read..... without the steering wheel in the way!
