I did do as Roger advised, I did also add a piece of flat to the horizontal tube so all my switches are pointing down, including my key switch that way my dash panel looked clean which I really like, however if you do that I would advise getting a Ron Francis key switch where the keys are cut on both sides of the blank, like more modern cars. The switch I used on the roadster is like most aftermarket key switches (tractor generally) that only have one side of the key cut. With the switch pointing down you never can see which way that dang key has to go in and have to turn it around a bunch and the double sided key cures that, other than that the rest of the switches (wiper & headlight) pointing down are no big deal.
