Any suggestions pl's/ websites etc

Do you mean rocker switches? The S1 Mini had toggle switches. Have a look here.

Hmmm, switches off Maplins, bit of carfully laid up carbon, some nice dymo name tape, bit of aluminium sheet and a few pop rivets...job done!

If I can just pick this thread up and continue...
I am looking for some small, neat, surface mount switches, ie ones I can screw onto a bulkhead. What do I search for, surface mount seems to mean onto the surface of a circuit board?

panel switches!

Go to RS, and find the switches section, and then there are a series of filters that will let you home in on potential candidates.

Unfortunately that car would never pass current European type approval (high volume or low volume for those that know what i'm talking about!).... another bit of legislative idiocy, as it wouldn't pass, but then it would be perfectly legal to add them afterwards!!!! (which is what I suspect Zonda must have done)

RS have the best stock of any component supplier, but they are very expensive. I mentioned CPC, but Farnell are worth a look as well. They are both in the same group, Farnell have a larger stock, but CPC is often cheaper.

Thanks each, I'll check them all out.

Cockpit or cabin?

Cabin suggestions

white, space limited
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MKK4842.html
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MKK4841.html

if plenty of space, plenty of choice.

Mahogany

brass
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CM3712EB.html

and white easy to find andywhere.

If outside only one choice really IMHO - these make a super reliable inside choice too, definitely choose these if the switches are in the companionway or heads/shower.

you can get these in black or white, or silver as here.
