I'm throwing around some ideas in my head about dash layout and controls. I found this vintage looking key switch with integrated headlight controls that I think might look good and reduce the number of switches (for the headlamps) on the dash. It's a Lucas PLC5 switch:

27283

I think they were mostly used on motorcycles from the 50's and 60's, but the Triumph's may have used them as well.

Anyway, the switch is 2.5" wide, and I'm wondering if it will fit in the short portion of the dash closest to the driver's door (where many people have their keys located). I can't find any dimensions of the dash online. By looking at pictures it doesn't appear that it will fit or it will look awkward, but it's hard to tell.
