how big is it? If it's only a little LED maybe you could incorporate it into the part of the dash with the other idiot lights? Eg drill a hole in the centre of the other three and put the brake light there?
Otherwise maybe a dash knob hole which is no longer used, under the dash edge where the handbrake goes just so teh lght is visible when its on.
You could always put it in the ashtray or something but then if your like me you'll probably forget it's there :lol:
I was thinking of a brake warning light in my EK because i always forget the bastard of a thing. My idea was to make the dash speaker panel pop up like something in a new car to reveal whatever warning lights i put in.

Hi
This is what I have been playing with lately

Just have to see someone about sign writing or stencil cut it. Have been told that it would look s@#t if it was engraved.

Pretty happy Jacky so far

You'd have to get the text matched to the original style, but i reckon the spot you have it will pass for stock-ish.

I'll probably put a few extra idiot lights in mine, hopefully i'll find a use for 3 extra lights, in which case i can probably space the extra 3 evenly between the stock lights and have the face/cover thing engraved for the new lights. I figure if it was done like that it'd look pretty much stock, though maybe too crowded
