@carlrobson: "I'm looking to make a custom dash look as factory as possible.
While it is a mix of different switches/instruments etc, I want to 
create uniform colours for dials and for switches. That bit is easy.
But the tricky bit is pictograms and markings for switches. the dials 
will be bought complete in the right colour, but after I've sanded, 
shaped, sprayed and laquered toggle and rotary switches to fit together 
and match colour, it will be a real PITA to paint each pictogram back, 
and to back fill standardised labels like the red/blue heater scales, 
and for custom bits non factory Aircon and cruise switching.
I hope someone can help. I can't believe that someone somewhere in the 
world doesn't make a big "jumbo sheet of dashboard decals" just waiting 
to be rubbed down, or used as water slide decals, just waiting to be 
spray laquered in afterwards. I don't mind mailing arround the world for 
the right suppliers parts.
Cheers all.

Excellent, will look them up.
Couldn't see anything on Europa when I looked today before posting.

Ah excellent cheers. A little more basic than I was hoping, but as they 
all match, and I had planned on a black and chrome dash, would probably 
work quite well.
Thanks again.

	Why not make your own? I make my own decals using an ALPS
printer. While the printers are getting tough to find check out an
issue of Model Railroader or ask in one the model railroad groups for
a custom decal maker. then all you do is apply the decal and, when
fully dry seal and bond them to the switch with a coat of clear epoxy.
It has worked for me.

It's an idea thanks. And maybe worth a try.
I've seen peoples home made normal and EL dial kits and they look pretty 
good.
