I decided to tackle the dash wiring today, so removed the windscreen and scuttle to ease access to the loom. I debated leaving them on, but the cables seem a bit on the short side and the scuttle will need sealing down anyway.

I labelled the loom ages ago, so plugging the wires onto the gauges and rocker switches was straightforward.... except for having to swap the rocker switch locations to allow the wires to reach.
The toggle switches were a different matter: Firstly, there was no way the cables for the horn were going to reach to the location indicated in the manual, so I had to open up a new hole above the headlamp dip switch, leaving an unwanted hole where it used to be. I'll have to find something else (even if its a dummy switch) to go in there.
The next problem was that the manual very helpfully says which colour wire goes to which numbered terminal on all three switches (horn, headlamp dip and indicators). This would be fine if the switches actually had numbers on the terminals!

I need to call Westfield before I put everything back together anyway, as I'm a bit concerned that the small "mystery" wiring loom may need to connect to the loom behind the dash in some way as it has a mini push-button attached.
