Switch & gauge panel is complete but not installed. Ran out of switch connector plugs for the rocker switches. A few loose ends to take care of and on to testing all circuits.
There are 20-switches and a dimmer on this panel; 2-more for the line lock & delay box to be installed still; a master switch at the rear near the battery (NHRA requirement); fuel pump inertia switch; and 4-mechanical switches actuated by the following: the brake pedal (brake lights), 1st gear (nitrous oxide disable), low oil pressure ignition cutoff switch, and a WOT throttle switch to enable the nitrous system only at WOT.
A lot of switches for such a simple electrical system. I had the rocker switch actuators (covers) custom made with a description of what it operates and some have custom designs as well, such as the happy face on the arm switch for the nitrous system. The switches are back lit with blue LEDs and some have LED indicators (oval lens at bottom) showing when they are powered up. With so many switches I went with the back lit rocker type as I like the look better than rows of toggle switches like some of the older aircraft I used to fly. Those old aircraft required overhead lighting for the switch panels which is not practical in this car.
