A few of you will have seen the carbon fibre switch panels in the sale at Lotus. I bought two, one for me and one for Alan Croft. There were about 5 for sale I think. Anyway there are 6 round buttons in this panel as opposed to 5 on the standard V8. Only trouble is that the bracket is obselete! I have borrow this bracket from Danny Waugh (thanks Danny!) to have a couple remade. Only trouble is that it's fiddly to cut out by hand but I only have two to make. Laser cutting is the way to go but the company will need more numbers.
So if there's anyone who's bought one and needs a bracket, then pm me. If I can get more than two then I'll get them laser cut.
Regards,
Dave Walters

It's not an extra button. One of the lower buttons is moved up from the heater controls area. Can't remember which one, possibly the heated rear window?

They did this because when they changed the upper switch panel to CF they could dress the CF around each hole so they created an alrge oval instead. If there were 5 buttons in there then it would look unsightly with the huge gaps inbetween. So instead they moved one of the buttons from below.
I plane to move one of my buttons and put a starter button in it's place.
