This particular sample is fitted with a square front plate and of course the circular type could be substituted, or for that matter it could be screwed on direct to your Instrument Panel. The multi-core cable considerably simplifies wiring, being taken to the Junction Box from which the various circuits are taken to the battery, lights etc. Prices naturally depend somewhat on the quantities involved but we could supply you with these Switchboards at a price of approximately 19/6d each for small quantities of say, one dozen at a time.
