rearranging dash switches (Caterham)?

[Austin David]

I've previously noted there are a LOT of switches on the dash, many are redundant or won't be used in my environment.  Has anyone rearranged or changed these?  I'm specifically looking for any gotchas, and ideally a source or description of the plastic-cover / toggle used.

 

1) the blinker is on the right / center, which is odd.  not necessarily a top priority.  (on-off-on, sideways)

2) there are 3 headlight switches: a rocker for off/park/headlight, an off-(on) (top-bottom) for highbeam flash, and off-on for highbeam.

3) there's another rocker I haven't tried to figure out yet, plus stuff like the windscreen washer which would 1:1 map to features I may eliminate.

 

Before I start re-arranging and/or rewiring, anyone got a source (or name of) replacements?

I like Carling switches: https://www.carlingtech.com/switches

Common, durable, and reasonable.

For all sorts of quality switch gear, cole hersee has a large variety used mostly on commercial vehicles:

I would use this in combination with a Blink Stop  if necessary.

my blinkers are louder than the horn(s), no chance I'm forgetting that's on.

 

Those switches look great; now I just gotta find someone who will sell me just a few...

Try mouser or digikey. Don't forget the connector and pins. Hopefully the crimper will be a common flag type and not cost $300 like many do.
