I got a hold of a couple of orange mini xenon lights, as fitted to plant equipment(funnily enough),stuck on a length of cable and a 12v. cigar lighter plug.If going a distance, on motorway,I stuck them in the back window ledge and ran the cable top the plug........just in case!!!

Just as an update on this Sprint95 has very kindly supplied me with the chrome bezel and a chunk of Dolomite dash to get the hole sizes but I am still nervous of the exact position as may be different from the Doly so I think the best way to go is to fit the instrument panel wood from a later facelift car that has the push/pull switch as standard.
I couldn't find one I liked at Stoneleigh (all PI, LHD, rocker type switch, couldn't tell if big saloon or Doly etc) so I have put a wanted ad on this site for a bare one as I don't need the dials etc.
Thanks for all the help guys.

With a pre-face-lift car, my suggestion would be remove the dash dimmer (just link it out, the dash is dim enough on full power!) and enlarge and re-use the hole for the hazard switch.
The hazard switch position on a face-lift car is in the middle below the warning light cluster, which albeit nicely symmetrical, I found when I had a face lift car it wasn't very well placed as it's directly behind the steering wheel so you have to reach through the wheel to use it.
