I'm a symetrical kinda guy, so will be investigating if it can go in either of these two positions: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/TrC4zKp/Montegue-Dash.jpg) Having had a quick look yesterday, I suspect the lower position will be more practical given the the restricted asccess the PCB introduces higher up  Might be easier to relocate the PAT’s LED and stick it in the middle? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.talkmorgan.com/gallery/27/full/20659.jpg)

And whilst we're blitzing you with ideas Dave here is the ultimate solution from a 2012 Supersport for sale at Allon White. ![[Linked Image]](https://allonwhite.co.uk/data/img/cars/used/_cache/8f8256236dab8f71bc15afbf1c1bd1a2.jpg) I'm guessing the dash was an ex-factory 50th annniversary custom layout since I've seen another 2012 Supersport for sale with Williams with exactly the same (also with wonky start switch  )

That PCB looks quite exposed to moisture and damp, its only a matter of time poor show from Morgan no attempt of waterproofing.

Agreed, thankfully some time around 2014 it was replaced by a sealed BCU.

Has anyone tried a good coating of Tropicising lacquer on the pcb ?... that should help with moisture, humidity and the odd drip but not full immersion.

Kevin the Morgan one consists of a connection box fixed to undertray of dash and clip secured along its length. These Avanti ones seem better regarded though. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/OLgAAOSwU7Bi626C/s-l1600.jpg) Thanks, Could be a useful thing and double up as a bit of an interior light.😊

Might be easier to relocate the PAT’s LED and stick it in the middle? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.talkmorgan.com/gallery/27/full/20659.jpg) That's a helpful photo Rog, thanks  When I looked up from underneath all I could see was the PCB allowing zero access to the back of the gauge panel, I can now see it's mounted to the panel on two studs so perhaps the way to approach this is to undo the nuts and drop it out of the way? Fitting the switch where the security LED currently resides a nice idea, but of course that would mean finding a new home for the LED.

It's looking likely the answer could be to drop the PCB from its mounting studs to gain better access from beneath, and then fit the illuminated toggle switch here.... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/7JmsHrs/20659.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/nmxqGmq/Montegue-Dash.jpg) Using an amber illuminated toggle switch rather than blue, this one from Durite has a nicer bezel nut too (Durite Part Number: 0-603-10). ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/LSJZ0bd/Durite-Amber-Illuminated-Toggle-Switch.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/YZBynN5/Durite-Amber-Illuminated-Toggle-Switch-2.jpg) It's rated at 10a, but I asume it's only triggering a relay? I've also gone for this tag. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/4MCRFPP/s-l500.jpg)

The PCB is mounted on the back of the four EAO switch assembies. There are little plastic interlocks on the back. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.talkmorgan.com/gallery/27/full/20657.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.talkmorgan.com/gallery/27/full/20656.jpg) These images are from the tm gallery, courtesy of Jays

Oh jeez Rog, that looks more involved than I thought  I'm now thinking if I want to fit my toggle switch in one of the higher positions, I really need to drop the dash to remove the whole PCB. However, if I remove the two arrowed nuts that secure the telltale light panel. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/z8MbC82/20656.jpg) It looks like it'll move out of the way on its ribbon cable to allow me to safely fit my fog light switch in the central but lower position indicated by the red star above, and shown below. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/h8F5NJV/Montegue-Dash.jpg) The contacts on the back of my fog light switch would need to sit under the ribbon cable, but it looks like there's enough slack in the ribbon and room under it to allow for that? To fit the switch, obviously I'll be drilling into the front face of the panel so I'm super keen not to drill into any delicate electronics, I need to make 100% sure anything vulnerable is safely right out of the way to completely remove all risk of expensive damage. What do you think of the above approach and this lower proposed position for my amber illuminated Durite toggle switch? EDIT!However, looking at this angle it now looks like for my Durite toggle switch to clear the upper edge of the telltale ligh panel I'll need to move it up slightly so it sits between the factory heater fan and temp switches, as shown by the red star. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/RhGNFPK/20657.jpg) So it would look like this. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/pzyF6tP/Montegue-Dash-Central-Switch.jpg) Alternatively these two areas look clear of any obstruction. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/gSGkvvq/Twin-Switches.jpg) So I could conceivably fit two switches like this. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/gm0LCDP/Montegue-Dash-Twin-Switches.jpg) One being the fog light switch on the left, and the second used to turn on the footwell lights I'm planning on installing. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/7CpvnGn/The-Two-Switches-Jpg.jpg) I'm now thinking the twin switch idea is the winner
