Been using it all week.

Tweaked the fixings for the srews to o into and remade them out of resin.

Works well.

Wife even picked my keys up instead of her Disco3 keys one day

this is the prototype BEFORE the NO-FLIP version as you know...

The light switch touch the keys and not reach the full ON position.

SO I chose the "normal" version because not all peoples want/are not able to bend the switch column

Hi Daniele, you can put the light switch on the right side of the steering column, close the hole on the left side with some GFK, wrap it in leather and everything is fine. Just saw it on a defender they modify here in Dortmund. How about the flip key, did you modify one?

Mine is close to the light switch but not so close that it causes a problem.
