[quote=Dan Case;1456207]I went photo hunting while our visitors slept in this morning. I came across two interesting pictures.

First one, posted on the Ford site is a nice picture of one of the first cut back door competition roadsters being completed at SA. It is one of the first cars because it had the street car type front wheel arches. In that picture there was a radium tipped toggle switch fixed by two screws in the area a street car would have had a push button switch.

Second one, a modern image of what was shown as CSX2431 with a toggle switch fixed by two screws in the same area as a street car push button switch.

Dan,

One thing to remember is that the FIA dashes were fabricated bare metal dashes that had disticnt panel layouts for the, gauges, switches and other associated items. I would highly suspect that given this that the dash panels were completely new fabrications done by the SAI race shop rather than reworked street dashes.
