I've seen online a pic of a Time Travel sticker made up for one of the dummy switches, so I got my thinking cap on and did some designing ..........
What do you think?
I've done a Flux Capacity switch decal for the other side, but in 2 minds in doing a redesign on that symbol.

I saw this on FB. I really liked the symbol. Looks quite authentic styling in the way a car company would design such a symbol. Most, if not ALL UK cars will only have one dummy switch, since one of them is almost always taken over by a legitimate switch for the "Required by Law in the UK" Fog Light Switch and functionality. I don't believe such a requirement exists for the US, but I'm unsure about you guys in Australia.....I guess not.

thats brilliant, sadly my dummy switches are taken up with a manual fan switch
(as I dont trust the otterstat having had overheating probs in the past) and the
fog light switch.

Thanks everyone.
Fog lights are not mandatory in AUS which is good.
So most Ds in AUS that I have seen have kept both switches free.

Do all Aus states insist on RHD conversions, or have they relaxed things? I know Craig
only exported his car to Oz after he'd moved to WA as that meant he didnt have to
convert the car to RHD.

I thought it was relaxed, any car over 30 years old isn't required to be RHD. I could be wrong though.

You are right Mike, any car over 30 years of age does not require conversion. But depending on the State, will reflect what type of registration you will need for road tax.

I like that Hover Mode switch
Is that photoshopped or a stencilled graphic actually on a switch?

I think Luke is going to investigate proper ones to be printed, if possible. Mine are a backyard hack job. :lol:
Luke's got the artwork off me. :wink: Hope you can get them done like a pro!
